This important textbook provides a critical introduction to the
social anthropology of religion, focusing on more recent classical
ethnographies. Comprehensive, free of scholastic jargon, engaging,
and comparative in approach, it covers all the major religious
traditions that have been studied concretely by anthropologists -
Shamanism, Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Christianity and its relation
to African and Melanesian religions and contemporary Neopaganism.
Eschewing a thematic approach and treating religion as a social
institution and not simply as an ideology or symbolic system, the
book follows the dual heritage of social anthropology in combining
an interpretative understanding and sociological analysis. The book
will appeal to all students of anthropology, whether established
scholars or initiates to the discipline, as well as to students of
the social sciences and religious studies, and for all those
interested in comparative religion.
