This well-worn first edition of “Literature Of Belief: Sacred Scripture and Religious Experience” offers a unique glimpse into the academic study of religious texts and their impact on human experience. Published in 1981 as part of the Religious Studies Monograph Series, this interdisciplinary work explores the intersection of literature, theology, and anthropology, examining how sacred writings shape belief systems and cultural identities across religions.
While the physical condition of this copy bears the marks of extensive use, its intellectual content remains a valuable resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of comparative religion and literary analysis. The creased spine and worn covers hint at the book’s journey through academic circles, where its insights have likely sparked thought-provoking discussions and inspired further research into the profound influence of religious literature on societies and individuals throughout history.
