What is Making Sense of Tantric Buddhism - Christian Wedemeyer about?

Christian K. Wedemeyer’s systematic investigation into Buddhist Tantric traditions fundamentally rethinks the nature of its transgressive theories and practices and situates them firmly within larger trends in learned Indian culture. Challenging the notion that such phenomena are “marginal” or primitive, Wedemeyer demonstrates these antinomian “rituals of rebellion” were integrally related, ideologically and institutionally, both within the Buddhist mainstream and Indian culture.
