In his autobiography, Wrestling with God, Lloyd Geering observes that the longevity of the Judeo- Christian theological tradition has resulted from its brilliant mythological description of the human condition. “But because we have now moved into a radically new age and express ourselves in a non-mythical medium,” he argues, “it has now become necessary to enunciate a completely fresh world theology, drawing appreciatively from all religious traditions, the light of our new knowledge of the universe.” Reimagining Religion is an ongoing attempt to employ the best recent scholarship in coming to grips with issues raised by radically new developments in the study of religion and thereby achieving a fuller appreciation of what religious literacy entails in the 21st century.
