Review
"Introductions to religion typically begin where the great world religions began and never quite make it to America. This pedagogically astute introduction reverses the direction, beginning where the students are and working backward. In a country where few religions are not represented, this concise book is the ideal first step toward understanding.
Synopsis
A textbook surveying the various religions as they are practiced and represented in the US, and the religious world of various ethnic and national populations. Essays also consider the relation of religion to politics and society. First published in 1994 and most recently revised in 2000. Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
