Full Description
This volume brings together scholars from across disciplines to explore the intricate intersections of narrative, communication, and religion. Ranging from theoretical reflections to case-based analyses, the chapters examine how religions intersect and interact with, as well as function as, individual, and grand narratives. How are these (meta)narratives communicated, and how do individuals interpret and transmit them within their own lived experience? Rather than advocating a single interpretive framework, Narrative, Communication, and Religion presents a dialogue among competing theories and methods. Contributors probe the use, understanding, and study of narrative within religious contexts, asking foundational questions about how meaning is produced, conveyed, and reimagined. By juxtaposing diverse disciplinary perspectives, the volume clarifies the epistemological foundations of narrative inquiry in religious studies and opens new pathways for coherent, interdisciplinary understanding. A vital contribution to the growing field of narrative theory and religion, this book offers a rich conceptual and methodological map for scholars seeking to understand how stories shape faith — and how faith, in turn, shapes stories.
