520    Letters from Heaven features an international group of 
       scholars investigating the place and function of 'popular'
       religion in Eastern Slavic cultures. The contributors 
       examine popular religious practices in Russia and Ukraine 
       from the middle ages to the present, considering the 
       cultural contexts of death rituals, miracles, sin and 
       virtue, cults of the saints, and icons. The collection not
       only fills a void in religious scholarship, but also 
       responds to current theoretical challenges. Reflecting 
       critically on the heuristic value of popular religion and 
       on the concept of popular culture in general, Letters from
       Heaven is characterized by a shift of focus from churches,
       institutions, and theological discourse to the religious 
       practices themselves and their interconnections with the 
       culture, mentality, and social structures of the societies
       in question. An important contribution to the fields of 
       religion and Eastern Slavic studies, this volume 
       challenges readers to rethink old pieties and to 
       reconsider the function of religion.
