Description
Exploring the Religious Life challenges common misconceptions about religion in history and daily life. Rodney Stark draws on a wide range of sources to reassess various topics in the study of religion, including the definition of religion and its role in shaping societies.
In this book, Stark addresses issues such as the origins of religious belief, the effectiveness of religious doctrines, and the relationship between piety and social behaviour. He examines the prevalence of upper-class asceticism in medieval Christianity and explores the phenomenon of divine revelation across different religions.
