4.9/5 (17579 ratings)

Description:The ambiguity concerning the interpretation of the 'physical body' in religious thought is not peculiar to any given religion, but is discernible in the scriptures, practices, and disciplines in most of the world's major religious traditions. This book seeks to address the nuances of difference within and between religious traditions in the treatment and understanding of what constitutes the body as a carrier of religious meaning and/or vindication of doctrine.Bringing together an international team of contributors from different disciplines, this collection addresses the intersection of religion, gender, corporeality and/or sexuality in various Western and Eastern cultures. The book is divided into two parts. The first is "Physical Bodies," which analyses instances when religious meaning is attributed to the human body's physicality and its mechanics (in contrast to imagined or metaphorical bodies). The second is "Mystical Bodies," in which the body as either a vehicle or a hindrance for mystical knowledge is explored. The chapters are arranged chronologically and across religious orientations, to offer a differentiated view on the body from a global perspective.This collection is a comprehensive and exciting exploration of religion and the human body. As such, it will be of great interest to scholars in Religious Studies, Theology, Islamic studies, S. Asian studies, History of Religions and Gender Studies.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
