Religions expand through the help of trade infrastructures, and religions extend and enrich the trade relations with cultural and religious \"commodities\" which they contribute to the \"market place\" of human culture and religion. This leads to the inclusion, demarcation and densification as well as the amalgamation of religious traditions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In an attempt to find new pathways into the world of religious dynamics, this collection of essays focuses on four elements or \"commodities\" of religious interchange: topologies of religious space, religious symbol systems, religious knowledge, and religious-ethical ways of life.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Contributors include: Christoph Auffarth, Izak Cornelius, Georgios Halkias, Geoffrey Herman, Livia Kohn, Al Makin, Jason Neelis, Volker Rabens, Abhishek Singh Amar, Loren Stuckenbruck, Joan Goodnick Westenholz, Peter Wick, Michael Willis, and Sylvia Winkelmann.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Wick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004255281\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004255289\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/02\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 374\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.40w x 1.00d","brand":"Peter Wick","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48799201886463,"sku":"9789004255289","price":233.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/religions-and-trade-peter-wick-9789004255289","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
