This will be the standard study on the body in relation to the major religions. It highlights the distinctive and unfamiliar ways in which diverse religious traditions understand the body and notes the assumptions and problems of contemporary attitudes to it. Religion and the Body brings together essays by established experts in the history of religion, the social sciences and philosophy. The result is a rich source for comparative studies of the body, its relation to society and to the divine.
