[*]a revised introduction covering the foundations of the anthropology of religion, anthropological methods, and a push toward decolonizing the anthropology of religion,
[*]expanded coverage of symbols, healing, wizardry, and the intersections of religion with other social institutions,
[*]new case study material with examples drawn from around the globe, especially from Indigenous communities,
[*]marginalia in each chapter introducing provocative small-case examples related to the chapter-many of these can be used as prompts for further research, small in-class case studies, or examples for hands-on learning,
[*]a new chapter on religion and healing, especially useful for Anthropology programs without representation of four fields, as it provides a wider and more interdisciplinary application of the discipline,
[*]a consistent review of foundations from chapter to chapter, linking material and enabling students to connect what they are learning throughout the course, and
