Religion - Material Religion (Hardcover)

Religion: Material Religion explores religion and the arts through visual and material culture. Composed of eighteen thematic chapters, this volume discusses the various aesthetic elements of religious art. The first section, a Sensing the Arts of Material Religiona focuses generally on the five senses and how we interpret religious elements in art, architecture, dance, film, music, photography and more. The second section, a Experiencing the Sacred through Material Religiona uses museum exhibits, calligraphy, relics, and rituals to explore creation of sacred spaces as well as how placement of art can affect the sacredness of material religion. Using an interdisciplinary approach, undergraduate and lay readers are given a deeper understanding of the study of religion. Chapters are written by eminent scholars, are peer reviewed, and offer bibliographies to encourage further exploration. The volume concludes with a glossary and a comprehensive index.
