Pagan Theology - Paganism as a World Religion by-Michael York

The Book ‘Pagan Theology- Paganism as a World Religion’ written by Michael York is a descriptive, and illuminating work on the diverse religious faiths that exist throughout the world. The Book specifically focuses on certain conspicuous faiths or religions whose attributes, idiosyncrasies and proclivities have a pagan elevation. The writer adheres to the Christian label of Pagan to describe all such beliefs and practices which are pervaded with ‘polytheism, animism, idolatry, corpospirituality, local emphasis, recognition of geospacers concentrations, perception of soul duality and either nature worship or nature as a chief metaphorical register expressive of the divine.’ (Michael York, New York University Press, 2003). The Book is relevant and pertinent with the contemporaneous curiosity and intrusiveness regarding the subject Pagan Religion. By being not very tome or voluminous the book puts forward its scrutiny or perception succinctly and forthrightly. The best part about the book is its wiggle room which is not just cramped to a specific place or a religion but covers the major or even minor religious diversities throughout the world in its purview. The book is bifurcated into 3 chapters as: (1) Paganism as Religion, (2) Paganism as Behaviour and (3) Paganism as Theology
