Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The collection of eleven essays explores the relationship between religion and text, questioning the extent to which religious practices are inherently textual. It examines the diverse interpretations of sacred writings and how meaning is derived from various discourses, including the body, the environment, and rituals. Through these discussions, the book sheds light on the multifaceted nature of religious faith and practice, offering insights into the broader implications of what it means for something to be considered 'textual' in a religious context.
