Abstract:
From the debates about faith schools to the polemics of Richard Dawkins, Religion is, more than ever, an important and hotly debated part of modern life in the twenty first century. Now in its second edition, "Religion: The Basics" remains the best introduction to religion and contemporary culture available. The new edition includes updated discussions of: the psychology of religion; globalisation and multiculturalism; spirituality in the West; and, new religious movements. With new case studies, linking cultural theory to real world religious experience and practice, and guides to further reading, "Religion: the Basics" is an essential buy for students wanting to get to grips with this hotly debated topic.
