Excellent book! This is a wonderful example of how anthropology, sociology, and religion interact to produce seemingly inexplicable cultural mores.

Interesting perspective on various human behaviors, rituals and so on. Particularly intriguing perspective on the rise of Christianity, in a historical context. Writing style was a little disjointed for my taste.
