Book Synopsis
Why has religion persisted across the course of human history? Secularists have predicted the end of faith for a long time, but religions continue to attract followers. This title focuses on the concrete realities of worship, examining religious holidays, conversion stories, prophetic visions, and life-cycle events.

Trade Review
"Riesebrodt aims at nothing less than a self-contained theory of religion. This erudite scholar achieves his goal to 'cognitively structure, understand, and explain' the jumble of religious experience with fascinating theoretical aplomb." - Friedrich Wilhelm Graf, author of The Return of the Gods, on the German edition"
