Description

This volume introduces an Aesthetics of Religion: an innovative approach that focuses on sensory perception (aethetics), and how humans perceive and create their worlds. Rather than confine religion to a set of beliefs, it explores the way in which religion is a multisensory experience and how it impacts on the social aesthetics within which it is embedded. This leads to both new research methodologies and to new ways of understanding religion. Foreword Table of Contents What is an Aesthetics of Religion?
