This volume argues that the ambivalent relationships many Christians have with materiality is a driving force that contributes to the way people in different Christian traditions and in different parts of the world understand and live out their religion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By placing the questions of limits and boundary-work to the fore, the volume addresses the question of exactly how Christianity takes place materially, addressing a gap in studies to date. \u003ci\u003eChristianity and the Limits of Materiality\u003c\/i\u003e presents ground-breaking research on the frameworks and contexts in relation to and within which Christian logics of materiality operate. The volume places the negotiations at the limits of materiality within the larger framework of Christian identities and politics of belonging. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe chapters discuss case studies from North and South America, Europe, and Africa, and demonstrate that the limits preoccupying Christians delimit their lives but also enable many things. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003e Christianity and the Limits of Materiality\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates that it is at the interfaces of materiality and the transcendent that Christians create and legitimise their religion.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMinna Opas \u003c\/b\u003eis Collegium Research Fellow at the Turku Institute for Advanced Studies, University of Turku, Finland. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnna Haapalainen\u003c\/b\u003e is a doctoral candidate at the University of Turku, Finland.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 296\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.61 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42647533682784,"sku":"9781350094642","price":110.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/ak9rcWM1TGpjV25PcVloUmVkdzdIUT09.webp?v=1773564671","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/christianity-and-the-limits-of-materiality-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
