  1. Orientalism and Religion: Postcolonial Theory, India and 'the Mystic East'.Richard King - 1999 - New York: Routledge.
    Orientalism and Religion offers us a timely discussion of the implications of contemporary post-colonial theory for the study of religion. Drawing on a variety of post-structuralist and post-colonial thinkers, including Foucault, Gadamer, Said, and Spivak, Richard King examines the way in which notions such as mysticism, religion, Hinduism and Buddhism are taken for granted, and shows us how religion needs to be redescribed along the lines of cultural studies.

  • La religion en Occident: évolution des idées et du vécu.Michel Despland - 1979 - Fides (Editions).
    " L'étude historique de Michel Despland sur la religion en Occident revêt une importance tout à fait unique. Je ne lui connais pas d'équivalent en langue française. Il a fait pour l'histoire de l'idée de religion en Occident ce que Denis de Rougemont a fait pour celle d'amour. C'est pourquoi je crois pouvoir dire que son immense travail deviendra un classique qu'aucun historien, aucun théologien ne pourra ignorer. Suivre patiemment le destin du mot et du concept de religion, c'est une (...)
