Belief Beyond Boundaries by Joanne Pearson
This is the last in a series compiled with the needs of Open University undergraduates in mind. The series explores the place of religion in the modern world, with this volume focusing, amongst other things, on paganism, witches and wicca, and other alternative spiritualties.
'The essays are written in a clear, readable, respectful, and neutral academic style, with glossary terms bolded in the text.. This is one of the more accessible and better-written academic studies available of paganism and New Age movements. Highly recommended for undergraduate, larger public, and all religion/theology libraries.' Library Journal 'The volume is attractively produced, with many illustrations, and there is no doubt that this book will be very welcome to university teachers in particular. Here we are given focused introductions, surveying basic issues and historic origins, in combination with a selection of the best work already in print. The survey essays are clearly aimed at the beginner in the subject and make sense of very confusing topics... a most useful and welcome volume.' Journal of Beliefs and Values 'Nicely produced and not too expensive. Reflects UK authors whom students have heard about. Good level of detail and illustrations and clear font' Sophie Gilliat-Ray, Cardiff Research Fellow, Department of Religious and Theological Studies, Cardiff University, UK '... the series is written in a welcome accessible style appropriate to students of courses on new religious movements, but also of interest to general readers wanting to discover more about contemporary religious trends... Belief Beyond Boundaries is an informative and useful text that draws together some key contemporary religious and cultural issues in the context of Wicca, Celtic Christianiy and other Celtic spirituality, and American Indian traditions... the volume is a thoughtful and interesting contribution to religious studies and an excellent classroom resource.' Journal of Contemporary Religion
