Ritual has emerged as a major focus of academic interest. As a
concept, the idea of ritual integrates the study of behavior both
within and beyond the domain of religion. Ritual can be both
secular and religious in character. There is renewed interest in
questions such as: Why do rituals exist at all? What has been, and
continues to be, their place in society? How do they change over
time? Such questions exist against a backdrop of assumptions about
development, modernization, and disenchantment of the world.Written
with the specific needs of students of religious studies in mind,
"Ritual: Key Concepts in Religion" surveys the field of ritual
studies, looking at it both historically within anthropology and in
terms of its contemporary relevance to world events.
