商品簡介
King (sociology, Queen's College, Belfast) explores how people use the popular material culture of religion such as mass-produced statues, pictures, crosses, holy water fonts, beads, and crucifixes along with other common material implements such as oil, water, food and drink in their everyday religious life. He covers material religion and identity; pictures and presence; stories, artifacts, and the making of religious memory; the material charisma of shrines and pilgrimages; emblems of identity and cultural belonging; and material religion in the modern world.
