Abrahamic Religions

Aaron Hughes examines the creation and dissemination of ''Abrahamic religions.'' Part genealogical and part analytical, his study seeks to raise and answer questions about the appropriateness and usefulness of employing these religions as a vehicle for understanding and classifying data. This monograph can be taken as a case study that examines the construction of categories within the academic study of religion, showing how the categories we employ can become more an impediment than an expedient to understanding.
