About this product

Product Information

The origin of the modern perception of religion can be traced to the Enlightenment. This book shows how the concepts of religion and the religions arose from controversies in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century England. The birth of the religions, conceived of as sets of beliefs and practices, created a new science of religion in which the various religions could be studied and impartially compared. Harrison gives a detailed historical picture of the emergence of this concept and how it led to the discipline of comparative religion.
