Ritual Theory, R itual Practice, Catherine Bell's sweeping and seminal work on the subject, helped legitimize the field. In this volume, Bell re-examines the issues, methods, and ramifications of our interest in ritual by concentrating on anthropology, sociology, and the history of religions. Now with a new foreword by Diane Jonte-Pace, Bell's work is a must-read for understanding the evolution of the field of ritual studies and its current state.Author BiographyLate Professor Emerita of Religious Studies, Santa Clara University Number of Pages: 288 Dimensions: 0.8 x 8.2 x 5.4 IN Publication Date: December 28, 2009 Show more
