The phenomenon of religion

the long version

A thematic presentation of the role of religion in human society, from traditional cultures to the modern world. Arranged into three main fields of enquiry – religious experience and its expression; conceptual aspects of religion; and religion in society – this study draws from all major religious traditions in the world, as well as a variety of non-religious disciplines such as psychology, philosophy, and sociology. This book was republished in 2008 under the title "[Understanding Religion - A Thematic Approach][1]". [1]: https://openlibrary.org/works/OL2396386W/Understanding_Religion
