Description:

From the rear cover of this 132 page book: "In this book E.E. Evans-Pritchard examines the various theories which have been put forth by anthropologists to account for the religions of primitive peoples - and, by implication, religion in general. He begins by discussing some of the difficulties and problems in studies of primitive religions, and then offers a critique of intellectualist, emotionalist, and sociological theories of religion. The book is intended for those who are interested in the history of ideas about religion, and as an introductory textbook for students of anthropology and comparative religion."
