Product Description
This concise introductory textbook emphasizes the major concepts of anthropology in general and the anthropology of religion in particular, and is aimed at students encountering anthropology for the first time. Reviewers are describing this new text as vivid, rich, user-friendly, accessible, and well-organized. As one reviewer writes, "It is clear from both the writing and the examples, that the authors are experienced teachers." This text examines religious expression from a cross-cultural perspective while still incorporating the key theoretical concepts. In addition to providing a basic overview of anthropology, including definition of key terms and an exposure to ethnographies, students are exposed to the varying complexity of world religions.

 Informative but dry September 15, 2008
This book is informative but repeats itself often. It can be a bit of a dry read for such an interesting subject but if you filter out the unnecessary repetition, it's not bad.
 Interesting and informative August 31, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is great for first-time anthropology students; it teaches basic as well as advanced concepts without seeming overly preachy or didactic. Its ethnographic examples focus mainly on so-called "primitive" societies, and allows the discerning reader to visualize the supernatural world time and time again through their eyes. A fantastic read!
