Synopsis
"It provides imaginative and thought-provoking... coverage of the ways in which religious thought and practice construct understandings of the human body." -- Journal of Asian Studies
"Drawing on a remarkably diverse set of studies discussing the major Western religious traditions (including Islam) and East and South Asian traditions, the book challenges easy theorization of 'the body in religion.'... an excellent source book for college-level comparative religion courses... " -- Bruce Mannheim, University of Michigan
"... an important study that... should be of considerable interest to the general student of the history and phenomenology of religions." -- Muslim World Book Review
The first cross-cultural and interdisciplinary survey on the relationship between religious practice and ideology and the human body.

Please contact us if you have a question about this title.Author: Jane Marie LawFormat: Paperback Number of Pages: 336This not only is an excellent introduction to Hopi religion and culture change; it should be considered as a text for any course concerned with Native Americans in the twentieth century. - "American Indian Culture and Research Journal". "An important addition to the literature on Native American religions." - "Choice". In this exploration of twentieth-century Hopi religious history and cultural change, John D. Loftin focuses on the interplay between Hopi myth and history, timelessness and the experience of time, continuity and change. His use of a historical-analytical framework, incorporating the Hopi understanding of myth and prophecy, provides a model of religious change which shows how a Native American people draws on its ancient religious beliefs and practices to come to terms with domination by an alien, Western culture and lifestyle.
