Reviews

The book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of religion among a tremendous diversity of particular traditions, and also to the concept of 'religion' in general. It is fortunate for those of us who are interested in the perennial question 'what is religion?' ReVista (Harvard Review of Latin America), Spring 2002
