Description
In this final chapter, Ann Taves and Egil Asprem engage with the positions, critiques, and applications of the building block approach introduced by the other chapters. It addresses the most important challenges that have been raised, and makes further connections to works in anthropology and the cognitive science of religion. It ends with reflections on future directions in light of the responses from the other authors of the book.
