The branch of anthropology that most frequently
encounters the supernatural is the anthropology of religion. Religion
has been a key concern for anthropologists since the very dawn of the
discipline in the mid-Nineteenth Century. In light of the apparent diversity
of forms that religion takes throughout the world—from the monotheism
characteristic of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam to the polytheism
of Hinduism and Buddhism and all the many variations and varieties in
between - one of the first tasks facing the early anthropologists was
to try to develop a standard definition of religion.
At first glance this might seem like an easy task, but a generally accepted
definition has, even today, yet to be devised. The problem lies in the
complexity of the various phenomena usually classified as religious
in nature, and in understanding how all of these disparate parts relate
to one another. For example, religion may be defined in terms of the
beliefs of a certain people or in terms of their practices - that is,
their rituals, rites and performances. Religion might also be interpreted
politically and economically, or described using the language of psychology
and philosophy. This complexity, combined with huge cultural variation,
makes the development of an all–encompassing definition and theory
of religion a particularly difficult task (Boyer 2001, 2–3).
