{"product_id":"the-saint-of-kathmandu-sarah-levine-9780807013137","title":"The Saint of Kathmandu","description":"With the deft evocations of a master storyteller and the exhaustive knowledge of a scholar, LeVine takes us on a quest to understand the role of religious belief in everyday life around the globe. She writes of uneasy relations between Islam and spirit possession in a Nigerian town; of a Nepalese teenager's flight from an arranged marriage to become a feminist Buddhist nun; of Mexican women taking the Virgin Mary as their role model; and of American Zen Buddhists struggling to maintain their community despite a deeply flawed teacher. These stories and more give a larger picture of religious faith, one that has little to do with doctrine or philosophical abstractions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Levine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807013137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807013137\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 0.80d","brand":"Sarah Levine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059786576127,"sku":"9780807013137","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6232c0b0-7e4a-467c-bef0-de552cf4664b.jpg?v=1685060330","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-saint-of-kathmandu-sarah-levine-9780807013137","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
