| Summary: | Clifford Geertz can be regarded as one of the most influential figures in
religious studies, particularly in the field of anthropology. His unique symbolic
anthropology approach had attracted researchers because of his emphasis on
deductive reasoning in explaining the meaning of religion and in viewing
cultural values that exist in religion. Research based on the content analysis of
his works found that Clifford Geertz thought very strongly influenced by Ibn

phenomena in the society. These symbols are then making a cultural system of
what we call religion. |
