Reviews

"Will fit nicely in travel and contemporary religion collections as well as reference sections. An essential purchase." - Library Journal "This detailed guide will be useful in any collections supporting the study of comparative religion, anthropology, sociology and American culture." - Lawrence Looks at Books "Snodgrass is broadly inclusive of a refreshing array of spiritual traditions... Recent books concerned with the concept of 'sacred life' lack Snodgrass's breadth of coverage. Recommended for academic and large public libraries." - Choice
