Abstract "This edited volume examines the ways in which the human body has been imagined, imaged, and discursively produced in particular places, times, and religious traditions. It brings together representative papers from most of the world's major traditions and geo-historical locations, and explores the religious body's various functions, roles, and transformative effects through a range of disciplinary and theoretical lenses. It is organized according to novel, thought-provoking thematic foci that advance the field and that can be generative for classroom use"-- Provided by publisher.
