Summary |
This is the most comprehensive book on Javanese religion since Clifford Geertz's famous study of 1960. Written in a vivid, jargon-free style, it should appeal to students of anthropology, comparative religion, and Islam, and to anyone interested in understanding how an exotic religion is practised. |
