Discovering Religious History in the Modern Age by Hans Kippenberg Book PDF Summary

"Kippenberg is a fine scholar of real integrity.

It is serious without being pompous, intelligent without being at all impenetrable, and fresh without being strange."--Ivan Strenski, University of California, Riverside
