Product Description
Asad explores how religion as a historical category emerged in the West and has come to be applied as a universal concept. He writes that "religion" is a construction of European modernity, a construction that authorizes--for Westerners and non-Westerners alike--particular forms of "history making".

A fascinating book, in which the author argues that "religion" as a historical and political category was created in Europe, an interesting book.
