The material symbol has become central to understanding religion in
late modernity. Overtly theological approaches use words to express
the values and faith of a religion, but leave out the 'incarnation'
of religion in the behavioural, performative, or audio-visual form.
This book explores the lived expression of religion through its
material expression, demonstrating how religion and spirituality
are given form, and are thus far from being detached or ethereal.
Cutting across cultures, senses, disciplines and faiths, the
contributors register the variety in which religions and religious
groups express the sacred and numinous. Including chapters on
music, architecture, festivals, ritual, artefacts, dance, dress and
magic, this book offers an invaluable resource to students of
sociology and anthropology of religion, art, culture, history,
liturgy, theories of late modern culture, and religious studies.
