Focusing on the transmission of cultural information, the book presents a testable theory on how religions are formed, shared, and evolved. Harvey Whitehouse distinguishes between two contrasting 'modes of religiosity': the imagistic, which emphasizes vivid, emotional experiences, and the doctrinal, which relies on formal teachings and texts. This framework aims to explain the dynamics of religious practices and beliefs over time and across different cultures.
