Köp båda 2 för 1901 kr"Taken as a whole, this anthology is highly illuminating. Despite its size, it is eminently readable. It is detailed, well structured, and well argued, compiled by editors who "know their stuff". However, a great strength also lies in the fact that it can be "dipped" into and used as a tool for examining particular issues or for exploring interesting avenues. It is thought-provoking and provides the reader with options for further reading and research. Although the intention of the volume is ambitious, it provides both the benefits of an edited collection as well as well-argued analysis. It is an important, innovative work that is very timely." Journal of Contemporary Religion This is an extremely valuable collection. It touches on important issues that will make it very widely used in religious studies, sociology, and cultural studies courses. Robert N. Bellah, University of California at Berkeley If my students were directed to this book, it would be an excellent opportunity for them to browse in areas they would not otherwise have entered into. Eileen Barker, Professor of Sociology, The London School of Economics and Political Science If one wants to use a Reader in the area, Im sure that this one would be an excellent device.
