This anthropological work thoroughly illustrates the novel
synthesis of Christian religion and New Age spirituality in Greece.
It challenges the single-faith approach that traditionally ties
southern European countries to Christianity and focuses on how
processes of globalization influence and transform vernacular
religiosity. Based on long-term anthropological fieldwork in
Greece, this book demonstrates how the popular belief in the 'evil
eye' produces a creative affinity between religion and spirituality
in everyday practice. The author analyses a variety of significant
research themes, including lived and vernacular religion,
alternative spirituality and healing, ritual performance and
religious material culture. The book offers an innovative social
scientific interpretation of contemporary religiosity, while
engaging with a multiplicity of theoretical, analytic and empirical
directions. It contributes to current key debates in social
sciences with regard to globalization and secularization, religious
pluralism, contemporary spirituality and the New Age movement,
gender, power and the body, health, illness and alternative
therapeutic systems, senses, perception and the supernatural, the
spiritual marketplace, creativity and the individualization of
religion in a multicultural world.
From devastating natural disasters to deadly highway accidents,
tragedies occur every day around the world and in our own lives. As
we face death, grief, loss, we become angry and our faith is tested
as we ask, "Is God really in control?"Navigator author Jerry
Bridges helps answer that question positively in this topical Bible
study, offering comfort and hope by exploring the greater purposes
and character of God.- Includes discussion questions- Can be used
by men, women, and teens
