Book Synopsis Religion as Orientation and Transformation by : Jan-Olav Henriksen
Book excerpt: Religions are not primarily expressed in people's heads and their thoughts, but in what they do. People use religious symbols in order to orientate or change themselves. In this way, religion is related to all realms of human life. Jan-Olav Henriksen shows that only against this backdrop can we understand the role of religions in human life. Book jacket.
