Summary:A literary criticism for William E. Arnal and Russell T. McCutcheon's book "The Sacred Is the Profane: The Political Nature of Religion." is presented. Topics discussed include need of fundamental changes in the regular curriculum of a study of religion; critique of religion and its study that took hold in theorists such as Jonathan Z. Smith; and a comparative model founded on the identification of a universal religious modality with attention to the social circulation of religion.
