great textbook

I used this book for an introductory religion course "religion and culture." I found the book very "student-friendly" with examples and ideas relevant to the lives of students. The prose of the text is well-written,and the structure is logical. The professor can jump around at will or follow the authors' order. Overall, this book is a superb core text for introductory religious studies or sociology of religion courses. I would also consider using it as a supplemental text in a philosophy of religion course, as it would provide a good empirical reference to the heady theoretical emphasis in such a course. I hope this fine book stays in print.
