Religion in Context reveals connections between cults and religions by examining phenomena such as witchcraft, cannibalism, and shamanism. This expanded and updated edition illuminates critical aspects of religious power, and will be of value to anyone concerned with the nature of religion in the modern world.
Religious power assumes many strikingly different forms, which are often regarded both by believers and by students as unique, unrelated, and even mutually exclusive. Religion in context, however, adopts a holistic approach and argues that to understand the nature of spiritual power we need to appreciate how these apparently contradictory mystical manifestations are in fact part of a single complex of mutually defining and sustaining elements.
