Description

Theorizing Religions Past brings together scholars of ancient religions to apply Harvey Whitehouse's modes of religiosity theory across diverse cultures and historical periods. This groundbreaking volume examines universal features of human cognition to provide comparative frameworks for understanding religious practices from prehistorical hunter-gatherers through 19th century Scandinavian Lutherans. By bridging the gap between historians constrained by singular narratives and archaeologists limited by material evidence, this book demonstrates how cognitive science approaches can unlock meaningful comparisons even when cultural data is scarce. Published by Altamira Press, it offers researchers and students of ancient history, religious studies, and cognitive science a unified methodology for analysing past religions across geographical and temporal boundaries, making it essential for anyone studying the origins and evolution of human religious behaviour.
