Descripción de contraportada

The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Religion and Materiality provides a thoughtfully organized, inclusive, and vibrant study of the multiple ways in which religion and materiality intersect. Each chapter explores the way in which religion is shaped by, and has shaped, the material world, embedding beliefs, doctrines, and texts into social and cultural contexts of production, circulation, and consumption.

The Companion is structured from a comparative perspective, highlighting the interplay of religion and materiality in everyday life with examples and case studies from traditions originating in both the East and the West. To summarize, the volume:

Brings together the leading figures, theories, and ideas in the field presented in a systematic and comprehensive way
Offers an interdisciplinary approach drawing together religious studies, anthropology, archaeology, history, sociology, geography, the cognitive sciences, ecology, and media studies
Takes a comparative perspective, covering all the major faith traditions
