Author Biography
Graham Harvey is Professor of Religious Studies at The Open University, UK.
Reviews"Wide-ranging...The editor, best known for his work on contemporary paganism, provides an innovative introduction, framing the essays that follow theoretically and challenging the readers' presuppositions. The essays are relatively accessible to the non-specialist and would make a useful introductory text for an undergraduate course on religions not often covered in standard 'world religions' textbooks." --Religious Studies Review
