One of the most comprehensive and lucid overviews of the anthropology of religion! For years, anthropologists have focused their attention on the religions and cultures of nonlit¬erate peoples. The descriptive material in this volume reflects this interest as it offers readers a broad treatment of the anthropological study of religion. Although the book stresses the religions of nonliterate peoples, the interpretations are generally valid for religions of all humankind. By recog¬nizing the common features of religion wherever it is found, readers can enhance their understanding of the religious systems of modern societies.
