Product Description

Review
"Methodologically sophisticated, theoretically informed, and substantively significant. It represents a major achievement by a gifted scholar in comparative religion who has already established his competence, creativity and resourcefulness in his previous publications. This book presents an extended analysis and discussion of important features of Hopi Religion, especially prophecy, as well as relevant approaches to the study of religion. Because of this dual focus "The Invention of Prophecy advances not only our knowledge or Hopi Religion, but also the debate about theory and method currently proceeding in comparative religion. . . . Scholars will welcome this magnificent contribution not only to our knowledge of Hopi religion but also to the scientific study of religion."--"Numen

Product Description
Through a careful documentation of the historical role of prophecy in Hopi Indian religion, this study aims to show how basic Indian beliefs about the end of the world have been misinterpreted by Western cultures.
