Over the course of the seventeenth to eighteenth centuries, an
interior private notion of religion gained wide public recognition.
It then spread through settler colonial contexts around the world.
It has since been criticized for its abstract, immaterial nature as
well as its irrelevance to traditions beyond the European context.
However, such critiques obscure the contradiction between
religion's definition as a matter of interior privacy and its
public visibility in various printed publications. Timothy Stanley
responds by re-evaluating the cultural impact of the exterior forms
in which religious texts were printed, such as pamphlets,
broadsheets, books, and journals. He also applies that evidence to
critical studies of religion shaped by the crisis of representation
in the human sciences. While Jacques Derrida is oft-cited as a
progenitor of that crisis, the opposite case is made. Additionally,
Stanley draws on Derrida's thought to reframe the relation between
a religious text's internal hermeneutic interests and its external
forms. In sum, this book provides a new model of how people printed
religion in ways that can be compared to other material cultures
around the world.
