Description: Both celebrated and denigrated in religion, sight may be extolled as a source of knowledge and revelation or demonized as the road to illusion and idolatry. This volume brings together scholars from religious studies, anthropology, art history, film, and philosophy to shed light on how the sense of sight shapes, and is shaped by, religion.
