商品簡介
Social scientists and scholars of religion explore the channels through which religious meaning is communicated, foregrounding the variety of channels someone may encounter when studying a group's faith and practice. Their topics include the Left Behind series as sacred text, human rights and sacred texts, text and context in Sikkim, the multiple forms and functions of music in modern revivalism, reading religious architectures, and the location of religion in an everyday text.
