“This first volume in a new series is a welcome contribution to the study of the interrelationship of myth, symbol, and reality . . . The book reflects an interdisciplinary and ecumenical approach which transcends academic specialization.” —Religious Studies Review
"The book benefits not only from the caliber of its contributors but also from the inclusion of essays on the interpretation of particular myths as well as essays on general theories of myth and realities. Myth, Symbol, and Reality is a useful collection of the major approaches to retrieving symbolic and mythical religious language available today, presented in brief, provocative essays that invite further discussion." –The Journal of Religion
"The reader will find a considerable amount to agree with, much to question and make one think, as well as a great deal to assist in a greater appreciation of the possible renewal of one's understanding of myth. The text is interesting and illuminating precisely because the problem involved is a difficult and challenging one." –Journal of the American Academy of Religion
