Assignment:

Compare/Contrast the different approaches to religion that you found in Berger's The Sacred Canopy and Deming's Rethinking Religion.

Which did you prefer, and why? For example, you might want to discussion how Berger seems to have a somewhat "broader" view of religion as implicated on many levels (building/justifying social constructions/institutions/behaviors), which Deming seems to want to narrow the scope of religion to an orientation to "higher-order" realities.

That's just an example - pick out anything you'd like to discuss.
