Reading Religion in Text and Context: Reflections of Faith and Practice in Religious Materials de Peter Collins

Reading Religion in Text and Context: Reflections of Faith and Practice in Religious Materials: Theology and Religion in Interdisciplinary Perspective Series in Association with the BSA Sociology of Religion Study Group

Autor Peter Collins Editat de Elisabeth Arweck
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 iun 2006
To what extent is religion inherently textual? What might the term 'textual' mean in relation to religious faith and practice? These are the two key questions addressed by the eleven thought-provoking essays collected in this volume. Accounts of the content and structure of sacred texts are commonplace. The rather more adventurous aim of this book is to disclose (within the context of religion) the various ways in which meaning can be read of more or less obviously sacred writing and from discourses such as the body, the built and natural environment, drama and ritual.

Recenzii

'Rooted firmly in the conviction that 'reading' religion ought not to be restricted to familiar modes of literary scrutiny, this volume embraces an explicitly inclusive conception of textual analysis in assembling a number of original essays on an intriguing and diverse range of topics. It is, as its editors intend, a coherent collection of empirical articles on an important theoretical theme and should prove to be a valuable scholarly resource for many varieties of the academic study of religion.' Professor Roger O'Toole, University of Toronto at Scarborough, Canada.
