Bringing the Sacred Down to Earth: Adventures in Comparative Religion
Dempsey, Corinne G. (Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Associate Professor of Religious Studies, Nazareth College, Rochester, NY)
In Bringing the Sacred Down to Earth, Corinne Dempsey offers a comparative study of Hindu and Christian, Indian and Euro/American earthbound religious expressions. She argues that official religious, political, and epistemological systems tend to deny sacred access and expression to the general populace, and are abstracted and disembodied in ways that make them irrelevant to if not neglectful of earthly realities.
