Description

Designed for students beginning in this area of study, this book provides an introduction to the anthropology of religion. Each chapter deals with a particular theme, focusing particularly on recent scholarship and ideas.

First Sentence

The unfortunate fact is that man has been created with a body and a soul as well, and this original sin, after having incessantly haunted the reflective mind through myth, religion, theology, and metaphysics, comes now to lay its curse on anthropology.
