Praise for the previous edition: Like Turner's other books, this one admirably fuses a symbolic, cognitive approach to culture with a social functionalist one. Like his other books as well, this one is as accessible to novice undergraduates as to specialists in anthropology and religion. -- Choice This book is a fine combination of scholarship and readability. The Turners contend that pilgrimage is a major socioreligious phenomenon and thus worthy of anthropological study.... This fine book deserves a wide readership. -- International Journal of Comparative Sociology
