Jim Kanaris is Associate Professor of Philosophy of Religion at McGill University. His previous books include Reconfigurations of Philosophy of Religion: A Possible Future and Bernard Lonergan's Philosophy of Religion: From Philosophy of God to Philosophy of Religious Studies, both also published by SUNY Press.

"Kanaris argues that religious studies is more than just an academic discipline—it is where an encounter with the core of our own humanity takes place. Solidly grounded in the author's own experience of teaching religious studies, this book will be immensely helpful to all of those working in the field." — Colby Dickinson, Loyola University of Chicago
