New to This Edition

  • 24 of the 57 articles are new. Preceded by all-new introductions, the articles were chosen in part for their timeliness: they address such topics as secular symbols and decorations related to war (yellow ribbons, flags); religious nationalism and violence; abortion rituals in Japan; Islam and women; and issues related to contemporary media.
  • Chapter 10, Religion as Global Culture: Migration, Media, and Other Transnational Forces, is brand new.
  • The prior edition's Chapter 2 has been split into two chapters, now titled: Chapter 2: Myth, Symbol, and Taboo; Chapter 3: Ritual.
  • The previous edition's Chapters 6 and 7 have been combined and shortened into a new Chapter 7: Witchcraft, Sorcery, Divination, and Magic.
