Beskrivning
This text provides descriptions and interpretations of religious ideas, its aim is to illustrate something of the range of religious beliefs and practices through cases that are exemplary. The first part describes the religious views of the Aztec, Maya and Inca, dating to the time before contact with Europeans. The rest of the text treats contemporary cases from the major cultural-geographic areas of Latin America. Whether the focus is on myth, architecture, ritual celebrations or shamanic practice, each essay provides a religious profile of the culture in question.

Recensioner i media
"The volume is clearly an important contribution to scholarship in religious studies, the anthropology of religion and area studies in Central/Mesoamerica and South America. Although academically sophisticated, it would be an appropriate text for graduate or advanced undergraduate students." -Studies in Religion, 2004
