Fascinating, but too much research for the general reader
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
The book attempts to study the rise of spirituality through the in depth study of one community, its different "religious" and "spiritual" practices and their change over time. For those who are just interested in the general theory-- that "subjectavism" has caused the attractiveness of new pratices -- the detailed information about the specific community is a bit cumbersome, but probably necessary for specialists who need to be convinced that the thesis is true.
