Davis Book Reviews OutlookReviews'Material Religion is to be warmly welcomed as a key forum for a neglected area of research. With an impressive range of editors, the inter-disciplinary approach and the emphasis upon material culture in all its diversity will encourage new research on religion, both theoretically and methodologically.' Timothy Insoll, University of Manchester 'I cannot think of a religious tradition that does not depend on material objects for transcendence. In the Christian version, it has been said that you cannot even get the faith started without a loaf of bread, a bottle of wine, and a river. The editors will have their eye out for loaves, bottles, rivers, and their counterparts in Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and the new religion down the block. Enjoying what these experienced and trustworthy folk publish should enhance the understanding of material motifs and artifacts in relation to spiritual and communal expressions.' Martin E. Marty, Fairfax M. Cone Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus, The University of Chicago 'Focus on doctrine, beliefs, and ideas has often ignored the myriad ways that people flesh out or body forth their religious sensibilities in objects and practices. Yet religious passions tend to cluster around devotional objects, images, and music rather than around beliefs that are unaccompanied by material signs. Material Religion will address a much neglected feature of religion, contributing substantially to the understanding of how religion works in people's lives.'
