KANE, R.,
Syncretism and Christian Tradition. Race and Revelation in the Study of Religious Mixture.
Oxford University Press, 2021. 288p. Hardback. Series: AAR Reflection and Theory in the Study of Religion. Exploring syncretism from genealogical, analytic, ethnographic, and theological points of view, Kane's ambitious book will likely stand as the major work on this topic for at least a generation. Documenting the racial and colonial assumptions that have shaped so much prior evaluation of syncretic phenomena, the author's proposal for a positive theology of syncretism sets an impressive benchmark for future work. Scholars from all disciplines that explore religious mixture and change will want to read this book.
