In some contexts it is extolled as a source of knowledge and revelation. In others it is demonized as the road to illusion and idolatry. There is no single way that sight functions in religion, nor indeed a single way to study it. This edited volume brings together scholars from a wide range of disciplinesreligious studies, anthropology, art history, film, and philosophy to shed light on how the sense of sight shapes, and is shaped by, religion.
