Description

This scholarly work by Brill examines the historical development and critical analysis of global religions as an academic category. Tracing origins from competing narratives of 1492 through influential scholars including Ninian Smart and Mark Juergensmeyer, the book documents how the concept was staged at the 1993 Parliament of World's Religions and applied within Buddhist studies scholarship. The analysis extends to contemporary modes of governance, exploring how religion functions within liberal, neoliberal, and algorithmic systems. Drawing on decolonial theory, Foucauldian analysis, and critical religious studies methodology, this volume challenges the notion that global religions represents a neutral descriptive framework, offering instead a genealogical critique of its construction and deployment in religious scholarship and governance structures.
