Seabright, Paul

A helpful title that frames religions as a business. Graduate students, scholars, and readers with a solid religious education will value this title the most.

The majority of the book is a verbose exposition of the author's theories, with Seabright clearly demonstrating that he has a command of his subject. Well researched and documented, this book is best suited for academics. Seabright is too jargony for a general reader unversed in the social sciences.
