Ten Theories of Religion

Fourth Edition

Daniel Pals

• A consistent chapter structure: Each chapter presents biographical background, a discussion of key ideas, comparison with other theories, and main objections raised by critics, allowing for easy comparison and evaluation of theories
• Clarity: Accessible presentation of difficult concepts
• Flexibility: The chapters are connected by strong overarching framework but are designed to stand alone as necessary to fit instructors' needs
• Ideal for use as a supplementary text in introductory religion courses or as the main text in theory, methods, and sociology of religion courses
• Can be used as a stand-alone text or with Pals' companion reader, Introducing Religion

New to this Edition:

• Chapter 10, surveying the work of Mary Daly
• Updated Introduction
• Updates to the concluding chapter, which offers a comparison and appraisal of theories: It now brings Mary Daly's work into the conversation and includes references to noteworthy new contributions to the literature on religious theory
