Religions in Practice provides a comprehensive and primarily
theme-based overview for students of the anthropology of religion.
Whilst covering traditional topics such as magic, witchcraft, and
spiritual healing, the book addresses key contemporary subjects
including migration, transnationalism, nationalism, secularism, and
law. It offers an issues-oriented perspective on everyday religious
behaviors and examines small-scale societies as well as major,
established religions. Throughout the text Bowen engages with
ongoing debates concerning the place of religion in public life. He
successfully balances the presentation of theory and concepts with
rich case study examples, integrating theoretical discussion with a
wide range of cross-cultural ethnographic material. This seventh
edition has been updated throughout. The opening section now
focuses more clearly on the question of what is 'religion' and on
approaches to studying religion. There is more on materiality as
well as a new final chapter on religious mobilizing and violence.
Further resources are available via a comprehensive companion
website.
