Book Reviews 107 Asma’s primary argument—religion has a positive “emotional” influence that is often ignored by its critics—is convincing. Readers who are interested in any of the particular topics he addresses will find a helpful overview, as well as ample bibliographical mate- rial for further research. Theologically trained readers will inevitably find aspects of Asma’s presentation to disagree with (I think he is often too quick to categorize religious beliefs as either fundamentalist or liberal, for example), but that is inevitable in a book of such a wide scope.
