Through analyses of specific historical processes in terms of responses to socio-economic and political change, the chapters consider implicitly or explicitly the problematic relation between science (including social sciences and anthropology in particular) and religion, and how this connects to the new religious globalization of the twenty-first century 606 $aAnthropology of religion 606 $aReligion and sociology 610 $aAnthropology of Religion, Theory and Methodology. 615 0$aAnthropology of religion. 615 0$aReligion and sociology. 676 $a306.6 701 $aPine$b Frances$f1952-$01515401 701 $aPina-Cabral$b Joa?o de$01099695 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791367103321 996 $aOn the margins of religion$93751085 997 $aUNINA
