This book argues for the continuing tension across historical contexts between movements emphasizing ritual and movements emphasizing sincerity. Our contemporary age has, at great risk, downplayed the importance of ritual.

What counts as the same? This simple question forms the core of how we constitute ourselves as groups and as individuals. This book suggests that different ways of constructing sameness foster different group dynamics and different benefits and risks for the creation of plural societies.
