Places religious studies squarely within the twenty-first century



Introducing Religion, 4/e explores the different ways of looking at religion in the twenty-first century. A broad overview to religious studies as a discipline introduces students to the various subjects of religion. Introducing Religion teaches readers how to think in academic religious studies and its main areas, included: sociology of religion, psychology of religion, history of religion, religion and art, ethics, and more.



The fourth edition has been expanded with new chapters exploring topics of contemporary interest: myth, spiritual paths, religion and popular culture, religion in the computer age, religion and war. Contemporary topics engage today's students, relating the topics to the changing world around them.
