This new edition explores the many dimensions of religion as a central reality of human life. It provides a functional definition of religion that suggests that religion is important to everyone because each person's life is shaped by, and all persons are concerned about, occasions in their lives that threaten or promote fulfillment of the individual's basic values and commitments.

Updated contemporary examples from popular culture—Features poetry, drama, cinema, comics, news stories, and song lyrics.
Expanded and revised content throughout—E.g., ecstatic religion, religion and gender, myth, religious understandings of evil, and postmodernism.
