Abstract

Throughout its entire history, the discipline of anthropology has been perceived as undermining, or even discrediting, Christian faith. Many of its most prominent theorists have been agnostics who assumed that ethnographic findings and theories had discredited religious beliefs. E.B. Tylor, the founder of the discipline in Britain, lost his faith through studying anthropology. James Frazer saw the material that he presented in his highly influential work, The Golden Bough, as demonstrating that Christian thought was based on the erroneous thought patterns of 'savages.' On the other hand, some of the most eminent anthropologists have been Christians, including E.E. Evans-Pritchard, Mary Douglas, Victor Turner, and Edith Turner. Moreover, they openly presented articulate reasons for how their religious convictions cohered with their professional work.0Despite being a major site of friction between faith and modern thought, the relationship between anthropology and Christianity has never before been the subject of a book-length study. In this groundbreaking work, Timothy Larsen examines the point where doubt and faith collide with anthropological theory and evidence.

Abstract

Au cours des quarante dernières années, les historiens des phénomènes religieux ont beaucoup discuté des réformes postconciliaires, de la «déchristianisation» ou de la «religion populaire». Il importe de s’interroger sur la pertinence de ces notions héritées, et de saisir quels enjeux précis, passés ou présents, conscients ou inconscients, elles présupposent. Entrecroisant bilans historiographiques et études de cas, Dominique Julia cherche à mesurer les déplacements sous-jacents qui se sont opérés dans le domaine de l’histoire religieuse. À travers les logiques et le langage des acteurs, il s’efforce aussi de comprendre les transformations qui, entre XVIe et XVIIIe siècles, modifient en profondeur le champ du catholicisme depuis le concile de Trente. La différenciation des échelles d’observation permet de saisir tant les proximités qui unissent et les différences qui séparent les réformes pastorales, que le retentissement d’une guérison depuis le faubourg Saint-Antoine jusqu’à La Haye, Genève ou Rome

Abstract

Anthropology of Eastern Religions: Ideas, Organizations, and Constituencies is a comparative survey of the world's major religious traditions as professional enterprises and, often, as social movements. Documenting the principle ideas behind Eastern religious traditions from an anthropological perspective, Murray J. Leaf demonstrates how these ideas have been used in building internal organizations that mobilize or fail to mobilize external support.

Abstract

In the post-Soviet period morality became a debatable concept, open to a multitude of expressions and performances. From Russian Orthodoxy to Islam, from shamanism to Protestantism, religions of various kinds provided some of the first possible alternative moral discourses and practices after the end of the Soviet system. This influence remains strong today. Within the Russian context, religion and morality intersect in such social domains as the relief of social suffering, the interpretation of history, the construction and reconstruction of traditions, individual and social health, and bu
