Reihe: Religion and Reason

This volume introduces an Aesthetics of Religion: an innovative approach that focuses on sensory perception (aisthesis), 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.
