{"product_id":"religion-in-the-emergence-of-ian-hodder-9780521150194","title":"Religion in the Emergence of Civilization: ﾇatalh? as a Case Study","description":"This book presents an interdisciplinary study of the role of spirituality and religious ritual in the emergence of complex societies. Involving an eminent group of natural scientists, archaeologists, anthropologists, philosophers, and theologians, this volume examines  atalh y k as a case study. A nine-thousand-year old town in central Turkey,  atalh y k was first excavated in the 1960s and has since become integral to understanding the symbolic and ritual worlds of the early farmers and village-dwellers in the Middle East. It is thus an ideal location for exploring theories about the role of religion in early settled life. This book provides a unique overview of current debates concerning religion and its historical variations. Through exploration of themes including the integration of the spiritual and the material, the role of belief in religion, the cognitive bases for religion, and religion's social roles, this book situates the results from  atalh y k within a broader understanding of the Neolithic in the Middle East.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ian Hodder\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521150191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521150194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Ian Hodder","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43992215519487,"sku":"9780521150194","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_22989202-2f25-43ea-a2de-73dd686857e1.jpg?v=1683314697","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/religion-in-the-emergence-of-ian-hodder-9780521150194","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
