Ethnographers of religion have created a vast record of religious
behavior from small-scale non-literate societies to globally
distributed religions in urban settings. So a theory that claims to
explain prominent features of ritual, myth, and belief in all
contexts everywhere causes ethnographers a skeptical pause. In
Ritual and Memory, however, a wide range of ethnographers grapple
critically with Harvey Whitehouse's theory of two divergent modes
of religiosity. Although these contributors differ in their
methods, their areas of fieldwork, and their predisposition towards
Whitehouse's cognitively-based approach, they all help evaluate and
refine Whitehouse's theory and so contribute to a new comparative
approach in the anthropology of religion.
