This concise and accessible textbook introduces students to the
anthropological study of religion. Stein and Stein examine religious expression
from a cross-cultural perspective and expose students to the varying
complexity of world religions. The chapters incorporate key theoretical
concepts and a rich range of ethnographic material.

offers:
- increased coverage of new religious movements, fundamentalism, and
religion and conflict/violence;
- fresh case study material with examples drawn from around the globe;
- further resources via a comprehensive companion website.

This is an essential guide for students encountering anthropology of religion
for the first time.
