Marcel Mauss (1872-1950) never completed his Doctoral thesis on
prayer. Yet his scarcely mentioned introduction (Books I and II) of
176 pages and privately printed in 1909, can be seen as some of his
most important work. His argument that much of prayer is a social
act will be of great interest to anthropologists, sociologists and
theologians. Here, the first English translation to be published,
is preceded by a general introduction by W.S.F.Pickering and
finally a specific commentary on Mauss's use of ethnographic
material.
