This book sets out to summarize the most relevant and latest data pertaining to religiosity as it is experienced within personal and communal contexts as a means of then exploring how religion and spirituality converge within states of cultural emergence and shift. By laying out three distinct case studies, respectively spanning the evolutionary, historical, and cultural applications of what anthropologists call imagistic modes of religious praxis, while also applying a Certeauian analysis of the producer-consumer dynamic to the prime movers of religion in each instance, this volume makes a compelling case for religiosity in its rawest form being an invaluable and enriching element of cultural construction, personal and communal meaning-making, and human fulfillment-especially in spaces of what the author calls aporic liminality (or, more precisely, aporiality). "The necessary come-to-reality read on the fluid complexities of the human self, society, and religion, especially in the present state of worldly uncertainty. We usually only have the surface reasons for why religion is used, but not the necessity of it. This work explains it clearly, whether one resonates with religion or not." -Kathryn Mann, Anthropologist, University of Edinburgh. "When the Edges Sing Praise offers a profound meditation on religion and spirituality as inherently threshold moments where the sacred and the ordinary converge. The author invites readers to dwell at the "edges" of certainty, where faith is less a matter of rigid doctrine and more dynamic encounter with mystery, transformation, and transcendence. Through poetic reflections and philosophical insights, the book challenges conventional boundaries between religiosity and spirituality, suggesting that true spiritual depth arises not in the center of institutional comfort, but in the margins where doubt, wonder, and hope intermingle. This work resonates with readers who find themselves navigating the in-between spaces of belief, identity, and meaning. It is both a celebration of the ineffable and a call to embrace the vulnerability of spiritual becoming. When the Edges Sing Praise is a thoughtful companion for those attuned to the sacred music that plays where certainty fades, where the human spirit encounters the divine in openness and vulnerability." -Lawrence J. McKenzie, Professor of Philosophy, Religion, and Ethics at West Virginia University, Parkersburg. This item is printed on demand.
