Religion in traditional societies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This is a good summary of religion in traditional societies. The authors use examples around the world of various religious practices that occur in traditional societies such as festivals, rites of passages well as religious practioners. They also discuss the use of plants an animals as well as religious topics such as sickness and healing and death and the afterlife. Eventhough the book is small it does asume some knowledge about Anthropology so the text can be fairly cumbersome. In general it is a good resource for those who wish a general overview of traditional religious practices and concepts around the world.
