    This book offers a clear, concise introduction to the meaning of problematic terms, and the ways in which they should legitimately be used. Each entry considers the following:

    - Why is this concept problematic?
    - What are the origins of the concept?
    - How is it used or misused, and by whom?
    - Is it still a legitimate concept in the study of religion and, if so, what are its legitimate uses?
    - Are there other concepts that are preferable when writing on religion?

    Concepts covered include:

    - Belief
    - Religion
    - Magic
    - Secularisation
    - Violence

    This is a jargon-free indispensable resource for students and scholars that encourages the critical use of terms in the study of religion.
