Recenzii
Praise for the second edition:
"This book is the best example I know of its kind – an introductory text that combines sophisticated, cross-cultural, and historically nuanced discussion with an intuitive ordering of subjects. Eller is especially good at weaving together contemporary perspectives with classical anthropological theory. The book’s accessibility and erudition make it perfect for advanced undergraduate courses and graduate seminars alike."
Liam D. Murphy, California State University, Sacramento, USA
"The first edition of Introducing Anthropology of Religion was one of the most engaging, comprehensive, and theoretically sophisticated overviews ever published. Eller’s second edition includes a range of new and revised material as well as expanded web resources. Beginning students and specialists alike will learn much from this volume."
