The Essay is the Bulletin’s peer-review forum for scholarly journal articles. In this issue we are pleased to share Mehmet Orhan’s discussion of ethnography and its intersection with methods in historiography, phenomenology, and narratology. In this essay, Orhan provides a useful primer to ethnographic fieldwork and how it can be used in the academic study of religion. His research features Muslim communities as data for this kind of analysis but, as you will read, illustrates possibilities for study in other data domains.
随笔》是《简报》学术期刊文章的同行评审论坛。本期我们很高兴与您分享 Mehmet Orhan 关于民族志及其与历史学、现象学和叙事学方法的交叉的讨论。在这篇文章中,Orhan 为民族志田野调查以及如何将其用于宗教学术研究提供了有用的入门知识。他的研究将穆斯林社区作为此类分析的数据,但正如您将读到的,他的研究也说明了在其他数据领域进行研究的可能性。

In The Archive, we republish an article that, in hindsight, may have been ahead of its time with its prescience. Our pull for this issue is a 1984 piece by Robert P. Scharlemann. In this paper Scharlemann, the former editor of The Journal of the American Academy of Religion, lends his experience—from being on both sides of the journal publishing divide—to Religious Studies colleagues who are newer to the field.

In The Archive, we republish an article that, in hindsight, may have been ahead of its time with its prescience. Our pull for this issue is a reflection by the late Paul Boyer (1935-2012) from 1998 on what it is like to work with the media in the wake of the Heavens Gate suicides because they presume his work in contemporary American belief in biblical prophecy makes him a “cult expert.” This piece was originally published in the April 18, 1997 issue of The Chronicle of Higher Education and Bulletin for the Study of Religion 27.1 (1998).

The Interview connects Bulletin readers with scholars who have been shaping key aspects of our work in the field. Suzanne Owen at Leeds Trinity University in the UK takes some time to chat with us. Owen will be talking about her experiences in both U.S. and U.K. education systems, her path to the academy through Edinburgh courses, Canadian fieldwork, and the BASR. She and Newton also touch on the issues she sees in the UK Academy and where she hopes Religious Studies can go from here. We thank her for her time and willingness to be part of this issue of the Bulletin.

Leslie Smith, Mitsutoshi Horii, Suzanne Owen, Titus Hjelm
The topic of our conversation is Russell T. McCutcheon’s Critics Not Caretakers: Redescribing the Public Study of Religion (SUNY Press 2001). This provocative volume continues to be discussed and argued within the field, warranting an updated volume. With the release of its expanded second edition (Routledge 2024) release, the Bulletin’s editorial team thought readers would appreciate a broader conversation about the book’s impact, legacy, and potential future in framing the academic study of religion. We are joined by Leslie Smith (Avila University), Mitsutoshi Horii (Chaucer College, UK and Shumei University), Suzanne Owen (Leeds Trinity University), and Titus Hjelm (University of Helsinki) as our discussants.
我们谈话的主题是 Russell T. McCutcheon 的《批评者而非看护者》(Critics Not Caretakers:重新描述宗教的公共研究》(纽约州立大学出版社,2001 年)。这本极具启发性的著作一直在该领域内引起讨论和争论,因此有必要对其进行更新。随着该书第二版(Routledge 2024 年)扩充版的发行,《简报》编辑团队认为读者会喜欢就该书的影响、遗产以及在构建宗教学术研究框架方面的潜在未来展开更广泛的讨论。莱斯利-史密斯(阿维拉大学)、Mitsutoshi Horii(英国乔叟学院和修明大学)、苏珊娜-欧文(利兹三一大学)和泰特斯-希尔姆(赫尔辛基大学)作为我们的讨论嘉宾参与了讨论。

In The Interview, we chat with movers and shakers whose contributions help us think about the field. Bulletin Editor, Richard Newton, and Editorial Assistant, Stephen Heaton sat down with Rebekka King. King is Professor of Religious Studies at Middle Tennessee State University and faculty resident at MTSU’s Honors College. We learned about Rebekka’s work in the anthropology of Christianity, her recent book, The New Heretics: Skepticism, Secularism, and Progressive Christianity (NYU Press, 2023), and her tenure as president of the North American Association for the Study of Religion (2021–2023).
