Exploring the historical significance of fetish-objects, this book examines their role in political and religious power struggles, revealing their symbolic importance as sites of transcendence. It employs a comparative approach, drawing from various disciplines including anthropology, psychology, and theology, to uncover the political implications of fetish-objects within a Western context. By reframing these objects as forms of resistance, it highlights their influence on Christian practices and invites a reevaluation of their relevance in contemporary society.
