Reviews

"I like the work's theoretical framework. It shows sensitivity to different cultural definitions of heresy rather than giving a definition and making all traditions conform to it. Henderson provides a good conceptual basis for comparison because no one tradition sets the rules of comparison-a common problem in cross-cultural work." - Matthew Levey, Birmingham Southern College
