Gananath Obeyesekere calls his contribution to this volume a peon to 'foolishness'. But this is a fertile foolishness that implies a positive freedom to engage passionately in comparison, to avoid disciplinary overspecialization, to understand that the non-rational need not imply the irrational, and to acknowledge the power of art and literature as potential inspirations for our work. These themes of creativity and engagement echo through this volume's discussions of orthodoxy, aesthetics, and the ambivalences that surround religious authority and leadership. A special section on pilgrimage to Holy Land sites examines sacred space, place, and narrative as expressions of knowledge and power, while Birgit Meyer's inaugural lecture at the University of Utrecht calling for a material approach to religion elicits a number of constructive responses from scholars in art history, anthropology, and religious studies. The volume is rounded out by a teaching section exploring the dynamics of teaching the anthropology of Christianity in a seminary and reviews of recent literature in the anthropology of religion and related studies.
