Religion in human life: anthropological views (Basic anthropology units)

Concise, highly readable general overview of religion! The development of two themes--the description of religious events, rituals, and states of mind; and the nature of anthropological aims, views, procedures, and interpretations--are effectively and informatively presented in this compact volume. The interweaving of these two themes provides a view of religion as an anthropological subject and of religion as a process in human life.
