The Fluid Pantheon

Informationen zum Autor Bernard Faure is Emeritus Kao Professor in Japanese Religion at Columbia University and Emeritus George Edwin Burnell Professor of Religious Studies at Stanford University. Klappentext Written by one of the leading scholars of Japanese religion, The Fluid Pantheon examines the nature and roles of deities in the religious world of medieval Japan and beyond. Bernard Faure shows the centrality of the gods in religious discourse and ritual; in doing so he moves away from the usual textual, historical, and sociological approaches that constitute the "method” of current religious studies.
