Böcker av Frederick Morgan Davenport

In this influential work of anthropology, Frederick Morgan Davenport explores the origins and functions of religious revivals, and the ways in which they reflect broader trends in mental and social evolution. Drawing upon a wide range of examples from around the world, he shows how religious revivals often serve as a way for societies to cope with change and uncertainty.
