Description:
The study of lived religion is a corrective to the traditional focus on canons and scriptures, which often leads to constructions of religions that are prescriptive rather than descriptive, and more expressive of elite minority sentiments, concerns, and speculation than of the practices carried out by the majority of people. . . . Campany reminds us that, while religions may be institutions, we often forget that that they are social agglomerations that consist of people with basic concerns.
