A clothbound anthology on the abiding presence of religion and spirituality in cultures worldwide.

The belief in a governing, celestial principle has long been an essential element of human society worldwide. More than 80% of the world's population has a religious affiliation and even in secular states, religion continues to play an important role. Politics and international relations today cannot be understood without accounting for the religious context of a society's history. The essays in this volume explore religion and spirituality as both a societal force and an individual experience.
