Summary
Anthropologist Susan Johnston turns a scholarly eye on one of humankind's primary interests throughout history: the spiritual belief system. Beginning her lectures with an attempt to define religion, Professor Johnston continues this intriguing study with an examination of mythology and symbols, rituals and witchcraft, gender, politics, and religion's place in the many customs surrounding death. A continuing and often contentious presence in the world today, religion, from its origins to the present, is a key component for understanding communities and cultures all over the globe.

Very informative. Cultures, values, religions and beliefs really do vary greatly around our world, as explained in this book. What one culture believes to be normal, another culture sees it as crazy or disrespectful. Kinda funny but very true. I really enjoyed this book.
