A group of distinguished scholars takes up some of the most pressing theoretical questions in the field. What is a 'religious tradition'? How are religious texts read? What takes place when a religious practitioner stands before a representation of gods or goddesses, ghosts, ancestors, saints, and other special beings? What roles is religion playing in contemporary global society? The volume emphasizes religion as a lived practice, stressing that people have used and continue to use religious media to engage the circumstances of their lives. The volume's essays should prove valuable and interesting to a broad audience, including scholars in the humanities and social sciences and a general readership, as well as students of religious studies. 410 0$aCambridge companions to religion. 606 $aReligion$xStudy and teaching 606 $aReligion$xResearch 615 0$aReligion$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aReligion$xResearch. 676 $a200 686 $aREL000000$2bisacsh 702 $aOrsi$b Robert A. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996205888803316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to religious studies$92547658 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
