Anthropology of Religion: The Basics is an accessible and engaging
introductory text organized around key issues that all
anthropologists of religion face. This book uses a wide range of
historical and ethnographic examples to address not only what is
studied by anthropologists of religion, but how such studies are
approached. It addresses questions such as: How do human agents
interact with gods and spirits? What is the nature of doing
religious ethnography? Can the immaterial be embodied in the body,
language and material objects? What is the role of ritual, time,
and place in religion? Why is charisma important for religious
movements? How do global processes interact with religions? With
international case studies from a range of religious traditions,
suggestions for further reading, and inventive reflection boxes,
Anthropology of Religion: The Basics is an essential read for
students approaching the subject for the first time.
