Theories of Religion: A Reader
Provides an anthology of key texts on the broad range of social scientific theories of religionThe aim of this book is to provide the student with an anthology of key texts on the broad range of social scientific theories of religion. The texts included come from a wide range of approaches to religion - unified both by the questions that they are addressing and the broadly social scientific perspective. The disciplines covered include: Anthropolo…
Neo-Structuralism and the Contestation of Sacred Place in Biblical Israel
One of the most interesting features of anthropological discussions (and those in related disciplines) of sacred place has been the issue of contestation both in relation to the construction of sacred place and in the construction of theorizing about such spaces. This aspect, however, has often been ignored or underplayed in structuralist or structuralist-functionalist analyses (as for example in many of Victor Turner's discussions of pilgrimage)…
Religion: The Modern Theories
GBS_insertPreviewButtonPopup('ISBN:9780748615223); A comprehensive and approachable introduction to social scientific theories of religion as they have developed in the twentieth century.

The Allegory of the Olive Tree: A case study for (neo) structuralist analysis
The Book of Mormon presents a fascinating opportunity to test aspects of structuralist analysis of myth and culture. This article examines some of the key issues in structuralist theory and attempts to develop some new avenues of structuralist analysis, particularly in relation to agency and transformation. Although in some sense these avenues can be seen as challenging principles of traditional structuralism, the changes suggested are more refin…
Juggling Identities among the Crypto-Jews of the American Southwest
The Crypto-Jews of New Mexico present a fascinating case of a modern community shaping and constructing identity in the context of competing identities. This article applies two concepts derived from structuralism as a means of examining and analysing this process. Bricolage is the primary theoretical concept. It provides the model of the different patterns which shape the construction of Crypto-Judaic identity. The second concept, that of the ju…

Theorizing About Myth
Recent work showed the presence of strong forms of inequity aversion in young children. When presented with an uneven number of items, children would rather tend to throw one item away than to distribute them unequally between two anonymous others. The current study examined whether or not this pattern is a universal part of typical development by investigating 6- and 7-year-old Ugandan children. Results revealed that the Ugandan children, in con…
