Review
this study is both a remarkable demonstration of a certain intellectual 'colonialism' and - in its last paragraph - a witness to the probable failure of the central thrust of its own position (Martin Conway, Theological Book Review, Vol. 8, No. 2, February 1996)
this book again offers a unique and fascinating perspective on religiion which is a delight to read ... Accessible and rewarding to those both with and without a detailed knowledge of the major religions, this book is highly readable ... this is a fascinating and valuable text for both biological and social anthropologists alike. (Emma Coleman, J.biosoc Sci (1997) 29, 381)
