Introduction to Anthropology and Religion

Drawing from ethnographic examples found throughout the world, this revised and updated text offers an introduction to what anthropologists know or think about religion, how they have studied it, and how they have interpreted or explained it since the late nineteenth century.

Author's Approach

Robert Winzeler’s balanced consideration of classic topics, basic concepts, and new developments in the anthropological study of religion moves beyond cultural anthropology and ethnography to gather information from physical anthropology, prehistory, and archaeology.

Target Audience

Written as a sophisticated but accessible treatment of the issues, Anthropology and Religion is a key text for upper-division courses.
