Scholarly, but wholly accessible. -Terry Gifford, University of Leeds I have little doubt that it will reinvigorate not only the debate over the definition of religion but, perhaps more significantly, the debate over where one religion starts and another ends. - Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion , An ambitious book, one that argues and then demonstrates that paganism is an important religious perspective by tracing specific themes through a surprisingly wide variety of spiritual traditions. This is the first successful attempt to articulate a theology that is based on what paganism is, rather than on what it is not when compared to Judeo/Christian traditions. York's work is an important contribution to the study of religion in general, and foundational for the emerging field of Pagan Studies. It is the beginning of a whole new dialogue. -Wendy Griffin, editor of Daughters of the Goddess Folk religionists and those interested in placing 'pagan phenomena' in the context of worldwide religiousity will find York's book interesting. - Missiology: An International Review , Michael York's audacious redrawing of traditional religious boundaries and scholarly categories reaffirms paganism's place both as legitimate spiritual expression and as a field of academic inquiry. -Chas S. Clifton, Colorado State University-Pueblo
