The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Religion and Materiality provides
a thoughtfully organized, inclusive, and vibrant project of the
multiple ways in which religion and materiality intersect. The
contributions explore the way that religion is shaped by, and has
shaped, the material world, embedding beliefs, doctrines, and texts
into social and cultural contexts of production, circulation, and
consumption. The Companion not only contains scholarly essays but
has an accompanying website to demonstrate the work of performers,
architects, and expressive artists, ranging from musicians and
dancers to religious practitioners. These examples offer specific
illustrations of the interplay of religion and materiality in
everyday life. The project is organized from a comparative
perspective, highlighting examples and case studies from traditions
originating in both East and West. To summarize, the volume: Brings
together the leading figures, theories and ideas in the field in a
systematic and comprehensive way Offers an interdisciplinary
approach drawing together religious studies, anthropology,
archaeology, history, sociology, geography, the cognitive sciences,
ecology, and media studies Takes a comparative perspective,
covering all the major faith traditions
