Anyone remotely interested in the topic of religious experience will find this a worthwhile book... [S]mart, fair, and well-informed theoretical reflections, like Taves', when theologically read, can at least help to sort out some of the issues involved and, if nothing else, provide cautionary reminders of the immense potential for human-driven idolatry, even sometimes in the name of worship of the true God. -- Christian Smith Books & Culture The theory that Taves proposes will rank among the very best because of its clarity and coherence of argument, its concise terms and substantive concepts, and its potential for stimulating research and writing in the field of religious studies... This book is clearly written, intellectually stimulating, and theoretically exciting. Choice
