[Commlist] new book: The Phenomenology of Religious Belief: Media, Philosophy, and the Arts

*The Phenomenology of Religious Belief: Media, Philosophy, and the Arts*

Michael J. Shapiro investigates how art – and in particular literature 
and film – can impact upon both traditional interpretations and critical 
studies of religious beliefs and experiences.

In doing so, he examines the work of prolific and award-winning writers 
such as Toni Morrison, Philip K. Dick and Robert Coover. By placing 
their work in conjunction with critical analyses of media by the likes 
of Ingmar Bergman and Pier Paolo Pasolini and combining it with the work 
of groundbreaking thinkers such as George Canguilhem, Giorgio Agamben 
and Slavoj Žižek, Shapiro takes a truly interdisciplinary approach to 
the question of how life should be lived. His assessment of 
phenomenological subjectivity also leads him to question the nature of 
political theology and extend the criticism of Pauline theology.
