Introducing Religion: From Inside and Outside / Robert S. Ellwood

This is an introductory survey and practical hands-on guide to religious studies as both an inner experience and as a social phenomenon. A balanced discussion of intellectual, worship and sociological aspects of religion, the guide explores the symbols and rites of religion; the expression of religion through art forms; the ethical aspects of religion; and the conceptual messages of religion. An ideal introductory text to Theology, Philosophy, and Religion.
