Reviews
"I'm putting this on the "buy" list for our library. The book offers some very useful summaries of topics not always covered in typical texts."--Michael McEwen, St. Gregory's University, Best book I have seen so far truly comparative study of religion. Have been searching for two years, since determining that Malefigt's Religion and Culture was simply too theoretically dated and too ethnocentric for today's students. Levinson, in conjunction with Lehmann and Meyers(Mayfield) or Hicks (McGraw-Hill) will make a fine basis for a strong Anthropology of religion class.--Barbara Brooks, University of MO at St. Louis|9780195123111|, "Excellent text and related illustrations. New insights, particularly on relationships between social issues, religion, and style."--Ken Roberts, U. of New Mexico, Gallup, "Now here is a volume whose time was long over-due, but for which it was well worth the wait! Levinson has developed a balanced and concise set of chapters/entries which pull together the essential world religious patterns/traditions by topic, His understanding of religion and religions ismost impressive. The book deserves wide use and recognition, and should find application in a variety of courses."--Gerald Michael Schnabel, Bemidji State University, "A helpful general reference text on the phenomenology of religion."--N S Salgodi, Augustana College, "A useful tool for quick reference, especially handy to keep around the office."--David Beriss, University of New Orleans, "Concise, comprehensive summary of major concepts. Excellent reference books--could be used for supplementary reading in World Religions or Intro to Religion [courses]."--Dr. Stephen Weisz, Tusculum College

Synopsis
With numerous examples from cultures around the world, Religion: A Cross-Cultural Dictionary documents, describes, and explains both the commonalities and differences in how people experience and express their religious beliefs and spirituality. Clear and concise articles explain the varied philosophies, dogma, practices, and origins of the sixteen religions with worldwide following. Dozens of other articles provide a handy reference to both patterns of similarity and difference in religious practice across the cultures of the world. All cultures, for example, have beliefs in supernatural beings, religious leaders, and burial rituals, but they differ widely in their beliefs about the evil eye, dream interpretation, and the power of sorcerers. Reasons for these similarities and differences are discussed, with fascinating cross-cultural examples of religious customs and practices. Many unifying themes surface as author David Levinson shows how people around the world express their relationship to the supernatural world. These patterns of relationship include those based on soul journeys, possession by spirits, magical formulas, beliefs in god and goddesses, concepts about the after life, and taboos on eating certain foods. Providing a thorough chronology of the history of religion beginning with the emergence of shamanism some 50,000 years ago, this carefully researched book is essential for anyone interested in humanity's religious and spiritual diversity.

- c***r (557)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoMost importantly, the book condition was as specified. Many thanks for that. Also, the book was delivered promptly from the USA to the UK. Also, the price was reasonable for an out-of-print book. However, one point of constructive criticism: the packaging could have been much better, in order to better protect the book in transit. The book was sent in a bubble-wrap mailer only, with no cardboard to give the package greater strength. Thank you very much for any consideration of my feedback.
- 3***6 (125)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoThe mail service absolutely ravaged the top binding corner of the book, which really was a disappointment. It’s not your fault as a seller, but please consider that a book in a snug envelope is very unsafe rather than a slightly larger envelope of the same strength. It’s not going to affect your rating. I will say nothing. But please consider this in the future- Post is treated poorly and customer service is poor with mail, so it’s necessary to ship properly, especially if you sell books. :)Pistis Sophia: The Gnostic Tradition of Mary Magdalene, Jesus, and His Disciples (N° 116542842875)
