Anthologies and Editions

All scholars feel that, at some point in their careers, and to some extent, they owe special service to the larger scholarly community. This sometimes takes the form of editing the works of teachers, colleagues, or other notables, whether living or deceased. The "Festschrift" is another sort of such a collection. The entries listed below represent work undertaken in this spirit.

• 1992 Malinowski and the Work of Myth, edited with introduction (Princeton).
• 2006a Edition of Roger Caillois, Pontius Pilate (University of Virginia). Introduction, "At Play in the Mind of Pilate"
• 2006b The New Durkheim: Essays on Philosophy, Religious Identity and the Politics of Knowledge (Rutgers University Press).
• 2006d Companion to Thinking about Religion (Oxford: Blackwell): edited, selected readings with commentary and introduction
• 2009c Émile Durkheim (The International Library of Developments in Classical Sociology) edited, with introduction (Ashgate Publishers: Aldershot, UK).
