Religious Experience and New Materialism: Movement Matters

Product Description In this groundbreaking volume, theologians and scholars of religion criticize and refine new materialist views, to advance debate about the role of religious experience in social and political change. Review 'From its birth, New Materialism has fostered intense attention and debate: is it materialist, is it new, can it produce a more radical theology? Here, chapters lock horns over the heart and bodies of the New Materialist program, emphasizing the topics of religion and activism. The authors, undercutting established dualisms, offer both advocacy and critical dialogue. This is an important contribution to this new school of thought.' - Philip Clayton, Claremont School of Theology, USA About the Author Karen Bray, Drew University, USA Clayton Crockett, University of Central Arkansas, USA Tamsin Jones, Trinity College, USA Kimerer L.
