With the deft evocations of a master storyteller and the
exhaustive knowledge of a scholar, LeVine takes us on a quest to
understand the role of religious belief in everyday life around the
globe. She writes of uneasy relations between Islam and spirit
possession in a Nigerian town; of a Nepalese teenager's flight from
an arranged marriage to become a feminist Buddhist nun; of Mexican
women taking the Virgin Mary as their role model; and of American
Zen Buddhists struggling to maintain their community despite a
deeply flawed teacher. These stories and more give a larger picture
of religious faith, one that has little to do with doctrine or
philosophical abstractions.
