From the Back Cover
This new edition explores the many dimensions of religion as a central reality of human life. It provides a functional definition of religion that suggests that religion is important to everyone because each person's life is shaped by, and all persons are concerned about, occasions in their lives that threaten or promote fulfillment of the individual's basic values and commitments.
FEATURES:- A broad approach to defining religion in terms of value and commitment―Allows examination of traditional religious issues, beliefs, and patterns.

- A variety of resource materials―Drawn from the Scriptures and classic literature of the world's great religions, as well as from classic and contemporary sources that seek to interpret religion in its various dimensions.
- Updated contemporary examples from popular culture―Features poetry, drama, cinema, comics, news stories, and song lyrics.
- Expanded and revised content throughout―E.g., ecstatic religion, religion and gender, myth, religious understandings of evil, and postmodernism.
