Abstract:
In Gods and Demons, Priests and Scholars: Critical Explorations in the History of Religions, Lincoln’s “How to Read a Religious Text” is anchored in decades of work with mythological texts or canonical texts, the six points deployed have their origins in his prior work, Theorizing Myth (Lincoln 2012, 5-15; Lincoln 1999, 150-155). 1 The sections from the Chandogya Upani?ds that Lincoln uses to illustrate his points thus, fall in line with a number of his selected examples over the course of his career, add to this the analysis of relatively discrete events. The essay will apply Lincoln’s six li

Abstract:
Bruce Lincoln's recent book, Gods and Demons, Priests and Scholars: Critical Explorations in the History of Religions, is a text whose critical offerings threaten analytical engagements that suggest that we answer to those subjects we study. Lincoln, instead, appeals to an uncompromising critical self-reflexiveness that, while potentially uncomfortable--and even scary--forces a vital conversation in the academic study of religion.

Abstract:
Abstract For the last decades, Bruce Lincoln has been a leading scholar within the field of the history of religions. His philological skills, historical accuracy and innovations on a concrete “low-theoretical” level as well as his critical approach toward theology and discourse of the religious elites and overall ethical commitment has been widely estimated. This review article aims to uncover some of the prerequisites for the ideology criticism that has been the hallmark of Lincoln’s work and to discuss some alternative tracks to continue that tradition of scholarship.

Abstract:
Abstract In his recent study of religion and imperialism in the Achaemenid Persian Empire, Bruce Lincoln depicts the Achaemenids as savage and decadent in order to make a point about contemporary American foreign policy. This paper challenges Lincoln's vision of the empire by examining the severe methodological flaws that underlie it, especially his untested assumptions about the nature of Achaemenid religion and his uncritical use of Greek sources for the practice of torture. These flaws contribute to the reification of an orientalist stereotype of the Persians that scholars of the Achaemenid

Abstract This paper deals with the ideological aspects of the Irish epic saga Táin Bó Cúailnge´s first two recensions. The two versions, called Recension I and Recension II differ in some aspects and the purpose of this paper is to map out the differences, as well as the similarities. The analytic tool used is Bruce Lincoln’s myth theory that myth is ideology in narrative form. Using this tool I hope to give more understanding for the old Irish saga and also the people who wrote it and believed in it.

It pursues the development of Lincoln's inquiry starting with Indo-European studies all the way to questioning the scholarly discourse itself. The main flow of this thesis centers around the issues of power and ideology. Lincoln deals both with ideological aspect of myth (myth is defined as an instrument for legitimizing power in the society) and with ideological aspect of scholarship on myth (scholarship that camouflages certain ideological or political intents is defin

The introduction lays the groundwork for the volume by discussing some of the key issues in the current academic study of religion and scholarly suggestions for its future directions. The volume is inspired by the work of Bruce Lincoln and his bold reformulation of the “history of religions” as a critical methodology. Rather than a search for an irreducible “Sacred” or for universal archetypes, history of religions is, for Lincoln, an approach that critically analyzes the temporal, material, social, and political aspects of those phenomena that are claimed to be transcendent and eternal.

Abstract:
This chapter presents a more direct challenge to Bruce Lincoln’s work, arguing that a purely critical method is ultimately insufficient and that a balanced approach to the study of religion also requires space for hope—that is, the hope for a possible future of the sort found in utopian narratives. Examining a wide range of narrative forms, from folktales and legends to utopian and dystopian myths, the chapter makes a strong case for the importance of humanistic scholarship in the twenty-first century.

The Afterword includes an interview with Bruce Lincoln, in which he is asked to reflect on the current study of religion, methods of comparison, and the political implications of academic discourse. In addition to responding to specific points in these chapters, Lincoln also fleshes out what he thinks it would mean “to do better” in the critical study of religion amid the ongoing crises of higher education today. Perhaps most importantly, he reflects upon and clarifies what he means by “irreverence” in the study of religion; an irreverent approach, he concludes, entails a rejection of the sacr

The project is inspired in large part by the work of Bruce Lincoln, whose influential and wide-ranging scholarship has consistently posed challenging, provocative, and often irreverent questions that have really pushed the boundaries of the field of religious studies in important, sometimes controversial ways.

This chapter examines two major trends in the contemporary study of religion—cognitive science and cultural anthropology. While the former seeks a universal, naturalist, evolutionary explanation for religion, the latter emphasizes cultural relativism, variability, and local context. After interrogating the weakness of both, the chapter suggests that Bruce Lincoln’s more critical, reflexive, and ideologically sensitive approach offers one of the best ways to move forward in the study of religion today.

Abstract:
Taking point from a post-9/11 spiritual warfare narrative in which models of asymmetric war are used to reconceptualize the demonic, the Introduction argues that figures of the demonic are both consolidating and deconstructive of systems of power, particularly those tied to sovereignty, identity, and empire. Weaving together two definitions of demonology, by Bruce Lincoln and Marcella Althaus-Reid, respectively, it demonstrates that demonology operates as a rubric of knowledge aimed at the classification, comprehension, and control of nonhuman and dehumanized others—the demonized—who simultaneously unsettle those rubrics of knowledge by exposing their categories as constructed and not natural. Mobilizing queer and critical race theory, it then situates the demon’s deconstructive quality in its figuration of passing and counterfeiture, which unsettle territorial boundaries, stable identities, and linear models of temporality.
