Rezensionen
"The book has a creativity, comprehensivness, and energy not often found in contemporary Religious Studies. It has the hallmarks of a milestone statement in theorizing about the phenomenology of religion." -- William E. Paden, The University of Vermont

"In this erudite work, Gavin Flood develops a powerful new understanding of religion as springing from the nature of the human condition itself. It will challenge and provoke, and will surely renew the field." -- Oliver Davies, King's College London

"Flood presents a thesis about 'religion' that is provocative, irenic, learned and wide ranging. His interdisciplinary intervention is an elegant challenge to those who think religion is dead or dying. It is a sensitive exploration of religion as the textual and ritual generator of meaning." -- Gavin D'Costa, University of Bristol
"Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-level undergraduates through researchers/faculty." (Choice, 1 January 2013)
