- Pagan_Theology abstract "Pagan Theology: Paganism as a World Religion is a taxonomical study of various world religions which argues for a new definition of the word \"paganism\". It was written by the British religious studies scholar Michael York of Bath Spa University and first published by New York University Press in 2003.In Pagan Theology, York presents his controversial theory that the term \"paganism\", originally a pejorative term to refer to non-Christian religions, should instead be used by scholars to refer specifically to those religious movements who share the common characteristics of polytheism, animism and life-affirming beliefs. Under this category of \"paganism\", York therefore includes the extinct historical faiths of pre-Christian Europe, living indigenous religions, several modern religions like Shinto and Hinduism, and the new religious movements of contemporary Paganism. Furthermore, York argues that this \"paganism\" was the \"root religion\" of humanity, from which later monotheistic religions like Judaism, Christianity and Islam developed.Academic reviews of York's book were mixed, with reviewers making note of the ambitious nature of Pagan Theology, but some believing that it failed to present an entirely convincing argument. As a result of this, not all of them agreed with York's proposed categories, citing various reasons why they believed that it should not be employed. In the wider field of Pagan studies it has been criticised, most notably by Michael F. Strmiska, who argued that it contributed to the cultural oppression of indigenous peoples.".

- Pagan_Theology quote ""Indigenous peoples share a common experience of immense devastation and suffering under colonialism and racism, a universe of suffering visited on them by Euro-American Caucasians; the same people who comprise the majority membership of such modern Pagan religious movements as Wicca or Asatru. Modern European-derived Paganism and Native American and other Indigenous religions of non-European origins involve similar elements, such as reverence for nature, polytheistic pantheons, and life- and body-affirming worldviews, but there are differences as well, stemming from their different cultural, linguistic, and historical backgrounds."".
- Pagan_Theology quote ""Pagan Theology will appeal to an international audience of scholars and practitioners of Paganism, similar to that of The Pomegranate, but should also be of interest to scholars of religion more broadly, since York examines paganism in a global context, and as it occurs within other world religions, as root religion."".
- Pagan_Theology quote ""This is a highly complex and sometimes elusive book written, perhaps, more for scholars than for undergraduates. Its burden is more taxonomical than informative. Nonetheless, I have little doubt that it will reinvigorate not only the debate over the definition of religion but, perhaps more significantly, the debate over where one religion starts and another ends."".
