About the Author :
Jan-Olav Henriksen is Professor of Philosophy of Religion in MF Norwegian School of Theology, Religion and Society, Norway, and Professor of Contemporary Religion at Agder University, Norway.

Review :
[I] find Henriksen's study to be very helpful for reframing the disciplinary relationships in better perspectives than the polemical ones just rehearsed. I find Henriksen's arguments compelling … [Pastors] and students will benefit from engagement with this dense and provocative work. Using 'practices' as its focus, this book explores the nature of Christian religion in new ways, such as its embodied, material, social and everyday character. Above all it convincingly argues how a practice-oriented account not only makes sense of, but also presupposes, core elements and narratives of Christian tradition as that which makes Christian practices meaningful. This provides for a convincing argument about its constructive potential for theology. In a context where the practices of the Church have become a central concern, Jan-Olav Henriksen offers a nuanced and provocative contribution from the Philosophy of Religion of this fast developing field. This book will be an enduring resource and dialogue partner for all of those who are setting out on the complicated enterprise of using theological ethnography as a means to study the lived practices of the Christian community.
