TMS - Religion, Myth, and Magic - The Anthropology of Religion by Susan A. Johnston Format: MP3 Bitrate: 32 Kbps Anthropologist Susan Johnston turns a scholarly eye on one of humankind's primary interests throughout history: the spiritual belief system. Beginning her lectures with an attempt to define religion, Professor Johnston continues this intriguing study with an examination of mythology and symbols, rituals and witchcraft, gender, politics, and religion's place in the many customs surrounding death.
