Abstract
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

to society and to the divine. Religion and the body / Sarah Coakley
