This book is a comparative macrosociological study of the
interaction between religious virtuosi and society in two
civilizations: traditional Theravada Buddhism and Medieval
Catholicism. Merging Weberian sociology with the Maussian tradition
of gift-analysis, and criticizing the neglect of meaning in current
comparative historical sociology, the author also argues the need
for a multidimensional approach capable of addressing the part
played by religious orientations in shaping the institutional
strength and ideological power of religious elites in the
historical framework of the Great Traditions.
