Description: The first part of this book concerns the object of religion -- power and the gods; the second concerns the subject, the worshiper, the community, the soul, and so on. The third part, crucially deals with the relation between subject and object. Or rather, as the author puts it, to make sure we have our priorities right, the relationship between object and subject. This work opens important windows on religion in essence and manifestation, and it will remain a classic in the modern study of religious and other worldviews. [Foreword].
