Beskrivning
The sacred and profane continue to interface, conflict, and intermingle in novel ways. The Encyclopedia of Religion and Society provides a guide map for these developments. From succinct, brief notes to essay-length entries, this encyclopedia covers world religious leaders and scholars—past and present—in the United States and the world. This comprehensive volume is an essential reference for the study of the anthropology, psychology, politics, or sociology of religion.

Recensioner i media

Upper-level undergraduates and graduate students will have no difficulty grasping the meaning of the entries, most of which are uniformly clear, authoritative and to-the-point. Specialist scholars studying religion and society will enjoy comparing their own ideas with those of the contributors. And non-specialists will appreciate the opportunity to get quick answers to questions such as 'What is millenarianism?'. In other words, a wide variety of readers will benefit from consulting the encyclopedia, and every university library should aspire to owning a copy.
