Paul-Francois Tremlett offers a treasure trove of concepts and methods to describe how social worlds change in relation to the category of religion. His is an inspiring, kaleidoscopic presentation of contemporary theory that draws on ideas about secularization, biology, economics, politics, post-humanism, assemblages, bricolage, music and original artwork to expand and enrich the vision and interdisciplinary toolkit of scholars and students of politics, religious studies, sociology and intellectual history. * Naomi Goldenberg, Professor of Religious Studies, University of Ottawa, Canada *
A masterful overview of key debates that have shaped current anthropological approaches to religion. It also brings us to the most pertinent claims about seeing the world as a matter of assemblages, flows, complexities, and entanglements of agencies, materialities, spaces. * Religion and Society: Advances in Research *
Assembling key critical theorists with the interactions of grassroots religious activists, Paul-Francois Tremlett proposes a new approach to religion and social change. Excitingly disruptive, his argument provides tools for understanding and rethinking transformations. * Graham Harvey, Professor of Religious Studies, The Open University, UK *
Tremlett's approach is very promising: its strengths lie ... in the reorganization of classical approaches, and in this I identify the potential of the text to become a new standard work in religious studies. ... I would like to once again praise Tremlett's courageous initiative. * Zeitschrift fur junge Religionswissenschaft - Journal for Young Religious Studies (Bloomsbury Translation) *
