How are religious ideas presented, acquired and transmitted?
Confronted with religious practices, anthropologists have typically
been content with sociological generalizations, informed by vague,
intuitive models of cognitive processes. Yet the modern cognitive
theories promise a fresh understanding of how religious ideas are
learnt; and if the same cognitive processes can be shown to
underlie all religious ideologies, then the comparative study of
religions will be placed on a wholly new footing. The present book
is a contribution to this ambitious programme. In closely focused
essays, a group of anthropologists debate the particular nature of
religious concepts and categories, and begin to specify the
cognitive constraints on cultural acquisition and transmission.
