The chapters range chronologically from Late Antiquity to modern America and thematically from the spirituality of near eastern monks to women's agency in religion, considering familiar religious communities alongside those on the margins and bringing a range of spiritual and religious practices into historical focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFocusing on Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, the essays address matters central to the study of religion in history, in particular texts and traditions of authority, interreligious discourse, and religious practice and experience. Some examine mainstream communities and traditions, others explore individuals who crossed religious or confessional boundaries, and still others study the peripheries of what is considered orthodox religious tradition. Encompassing a wide geographical as well as chronological scope,\u003ci\u003e Faithful Narratives\u003c\/i\u003e illustrates the persistence of central themes and common analytical challenges for historians working in all periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"edited by Andrea Sterk and Nina Caputo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53616528687484,"sku":"9780801451829","price":108.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9780801451829_e1820e16-74cf-45ec-bfd6-c05127b44c43.jpg?v=1725625165","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/faithful-narratives","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
