Rezensionen

(Numen, 1 May 2015)
"Finally, it should be pointed out that the book is well presented, with a wealth of interesting primary sources and secondary literature discussed. . . At any rate, the book should contribute to the ongoing debate between religionists and reductionists within our field."

(Choice, 1 January 2013)
"Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-level undergraduates through researchers/faculty."

"The book has a creativity, comprehensivness, and energy not often found in contemporary Religious Studies. It has the hallmarks of a milestone statement in theorizing about the phenomenology of religion."

--William E. Paden, The University of Vermont

"In this erudite work, Gavin Flood develops a powerful new understanding of religion as springing from the nature of the human condition itself. It will challenge and provoke, and will surely renew the field."

s College London
--Oliver Davies, King'

"Flood presents a thesis about 'religion' that is provocative, irenic, learned and wide ranging. His interdisciplinary intervention is an elegant challenge to those who think religion is dead or dying. It is a sensitive exploration of religion as the textual and ritual generator of meaning."

Costa, University of Bristol
--Gavin D'
