Imagining Religion: From Babylon to Jonestown
ISBN: 9780226763606 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. With this influential book of essays, Jonathan Z. Smith has pointed the academic study of religion in a new theoretical direction, one neither theological nor willfully ideological.
Making use of examples as apparently diverse and exotic as the Maori cults in nineteenth-century New Zealand and the events of Jonestown, Smith shows that religion must be construed as conventional, anthropological, historical, and as an exercise of imagination. In his analyses, religion emerges as the product of historically and geographically situated human ingenuity, cognition, and curiosity simply put, as...

Drudgery Divine: On the Comparison of Early Christianities and the Religions of Late Antiquity
ISBN: 9780226763637 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this major theoretical and methodological statement on the history of religions, Jonathan Z. Smith shows how convert apologetic agendas can dictate the course of comparative religious studies. As his example, Smith reviews four centuries of scholarship comparing early Christianities with religions of late Antiquity (especially the so-called mystery cults) and shows how this scholarship has been based upon an underlying Protestant-Catholic polemic. The result is a devastating critique of traditional New Testament scholarship, a redescription of early Christianities as religious traditions...

Charles Darwin and Victorian Visual Culture
ISBN: 9780521135795 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 378 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Although The Origin of Species contained just a single visual illustration, Charles Darwin's other books, from his monograph on barnacles in the early 1850s to his volume on earthworms in 1881, were copiously illustrated by well-known artists and engravers. In this 2006 book, Jonathan Smith explains how Darwin managed to illustrate the unillustratable - his theories of natural selection - by manipulating and modifying the visual conventions of natural history, using images to support the claims made in his texts. Moreover, Smith looks outward to analyse the relationships between Darwin's...
