Product Description

This concise introductory textbook emphasizes the major concepts of both anthropology and the anthropology of religion. It is aimed at students encountering anthropology for the first time.

 

Reviewers describe the text as vivid, rich, user-friendly, accessible, and well-organized. It 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 exposure to ethnographies, the text exposes students to the varying complexity of world religions.

5 out of 5 stars Mystic

This book came in fantastic condition thanks to Amazon. I bought this particular book for some college courses I will be taking soon, and I dived right into the book. Depending on what you like, I would recomend it for just a knowledge read and work from there. I plan to keep this book even after my courses are finished and read all of it, just to gain what it offers.

5 out of 5 stars Anthropology of religion

I was very pleased with the purchase. It was in the exact condition it was said to be in. I also recieved it in a very timely manner. Over all I was extremely pleased. I bought the book because im going to be going to school for anthropology so I want to get a head start.

1 out of 5 stars Meh

As a light read and brief intro to Anthropological study of religion it's fine, unfortunately it required for a college course. If you're taking a class and you need this book, skip it. This book doesn't offer anything that you can't find via a google search. I paid $6 for this book and I feel like I got ripped off.

5 out of 5 stars Anthropology of Religion, Magic, Witchcraft

This book is a great introduction to Anthropology. It clearly demonstrates to the reader what and how various practices came to be. This is my first exposure to the subject and this book is fascinating, informative, and fun to read. It is a text for my class, but I would have bought it just for the pleasure of learning something new, different and interesting. I would recommend this book to everyone who is interested in other cultures and religious beliefs.

4 out of 5 stars Informative but dry

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.
