The introduction is followed by an essay by Brad Gregory reflecting on issues related to the study of the history of religious ideas. Subsequent essays by John Coffey, Anna Sapir Abulafia, Howard Hotson, Richard A.

James Bradley shifts forward with his essay on religious ideas in Enlightenment England.

David Bebbington provides a concluding reflection on the challenges inherent in restoring the centrality of religion to intellectual history.
