DIVINITY, LAW, AND THE LEGAL TURN IN THE STUDY OF RELIGIONS

While histories of ideas in premodern perspectives habitually understood history as divisions of fixed periods, modernists tend to narrate these histories in terms of flowing streams curving through timelines, intersections, and junctions.
