{"product_id":"the-implied-spider-wendy-doniger-9780231156424","title":"The Implied Spider: Politics and Theology in Myth","description":"\u003cp\u003eWendy Doniger's foundational study is both modern in its engagement with a diverse range of religions and refreshingly classic in its transhistorical, cross-cultural approach. By responsibly analyzing patterns and themes across context, Doniger reinvigorates the comparative reading of religion, tapping into a wealth of narrative traditions, from the instructive tales of Judaism and Christianity to the moral lessons of the \u003cem\u003eBhagavad Gita\u003c\/em\u003e. She extracts political meaning from a variety of texts while respecting the original ideas of each. A new preface confronts the difficulty of contextualizing the comparison of religions as well as controversies over choosing subjects and positioning arguments, and the text itself is expanded and updated throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wendy Doniger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231156421\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231156424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.80h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Wendy Doniger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056689115391,"sku":"9780231156424","price":34.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e44c6f5-1580-426b-86ca-72bb8eef0e57.jpg?v=1685042712","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-implied-spider-wendy-doniger-9780231156424","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
