Abstract

for their insightful comments and for the time and effort they kindly extended to my book. We four share the understanding that "religion" is a problematic category, and use the so-called "critical religion" approach in our own academic work.At the same time, there are some differences between us. These are expressed in their comments. These differences provide me with valuable insights. Their critical reflections on my book are helpful for the further development of my own study.In the following paragraphs, I would like to give my constructive responses to the comments made by these three scholars.
