"[The Religion of Java] makes new and important contributions to our understanding of Javanese life; it is well-documented; it is clearly written; it is perceptively and creatively conceived." -- Cora Du Bois, American Anthropologist

Written with a rare combination of analysis and speculation, this comprehensive study of Javanese religion is one of the few books on the religion of a non-Western people which emphasizes variation and conflict in belief as well as similarity and harmony. The reader becomes aware of the intricacy and depth of Javanese spiritual life, and the problems of political and social integration reflected in the religion.

The Religion of Java will interest specialist in Southeast Asia anthropologist and sociologist concerned with the social analysis of religious belief and ideology, students of comparative religion, and civil servants dealing with governmental policy toward Indonesia and Southeast Asia.

"Here is a masterful study, by a well-trained anthropologist, of religious beliefs and practices as observed in a small town in East Central Java.... The treatment is thorough, erudite and dynamic. Here is the model that should be followed by all students of religion; a book that should be read for its basic insight into religion, even if the reader has no special reason to take interest in the people of Java. Needless to say, for a student of Indonesia this work is a major contribution and a real treat." -- Library Journal

"To Illustrate this complexity and to describe placticaly and convincingly both separateness and interaction, diversity and unity of the three principal strata of Javanese Islam is the purpose and achievement of the present volume. The documentation is rich and varied." -- G.E. von Grunebaum, American Journal of Sociology.
