Religious Mourning

“By intricately tracing key sets of conflicts, correspondences, and thematic recurrences, Nathan Carlin offers a moving and insightful collection of portraits of influential religious leaders and the scholars who study them. Working lucidly through a series of comparative case studies, Religious Mourning represents an important contribution to the literary history of religious studies--and, even more suggestively--to the psychology of the psychology of religion.”
