What is Myths We Live By (religion And Beliefs Series) about?
Colin Grant challenges the popular use of "myth" as a dismissive designation of the superstitions and falsehoods of "other" cultures.

The myths themselves are in a constant state of flux and transformation. They ebb and flow, both within the context of wider culture and individual experience. Published in English.
