"Afro-Caribbean Religions is an excellent book-richly informative, well researched and organized. Murrell explains complex religions in accessible language, and successfully informs the reader about the contents and histories of the religions that are so respectfully presented here. It is truly an enjoyable read, and one learns new things on virtually every page. I would expect Afro-Caribbean Religions to receive an enthusiastic reception among students and professors alike for many years to come."-Dr. Terry Rey, Associate Professor and Chair of Religion at Temple University, "Afro-Caribbean Religions is an excellent book--richly informative, well researched and organized.
