DescriptionIntroducing Anthropology of Religion: Culture to the Ultimate 1st Edition by Jack David Eller (Author) {BinanGotit}  Product Details Hardcover: 368 pages Publisher: Routledge; 1 edition (September 13th 2007) Language: English ISBN-10: 0415408954 ISBN-13: 978-0415408950 This lively and readable survey introduces students to key areas of the field and shows how to apply an anthropological approach to the study of contemporary world religions. Written by an experienced teacher, it covers all of the traditional topics of anthropology of religion, including definitions and theories, beliefs, symbols and language, and ritual and myth, and combines analytic and conceptual discussion with up-to-date ethnography and theory. Eller includes copious examples from religions around the world – both familiar and unfamiliar – and two mini-case studies in each chapter. He also explores classic and contemporary anthropological contributions to important but often overlooked issues such as violence and fundamentalism, morality, secularization, religion in America, and new religious movements. Introducing Anthropology of Religion demonstrates that anthropology is both relevant and essential for understanding the world we inhabit today.  Sharing Widget |
