Secular Translations by Talal Asad
In Secular Translations, anthropologist Talal Asad reflects on his lifelong engagement with secularism and its contradictions. He draws out the ambiguities in our concepts of the religious and the secular through a rich consideration of translatability and untranslatability.
Well worth reading..an excellent instance of the value of anthropological concepts for the study of religion and the social importance of theology. -- Timothy Jenkins, Cambridge University * Modern Theology *
Asad remains essential reading. * Muslim World Book Review *
This is an immensely rich text, undoubtedly Asad’s tour de force. * Language, Literature, and Interdisciplinary Studies *
