Religion Enters the Academy: The Origins of the Scholarly Study of Religion in America - George H. Shriver Lecture Series in Religion in American History
James Turner

Fostered especially by learned Protestant ministers, this new discipline focused on canonical texts—the “bibles”—of other great world religions.
