Sommario/riassunto: Focusing solely on well-known religions is an approach that impoverishes religious studies. Rather, this book introduces the diverse religious experience of Africans, Native Americans, and the indigenous peoples of Australia, providing a comprehensive introduction to the study of religion and broadening the horizons of religious studies students.
