Material Beliefs by Jacob Beaver, Tobie Kerridge, Sarah Pennington "Material Beliefs" is a book co-authored by Jacob Beaver, Tobie Kerridge, and Sarah Pennington. The book explores the intersection of religion, design, and technology, specifically examining the role of objects in religious practices and the ways in which technological advances are shaping those practices. The authors draw on extensive fieldwork conducted in both the United States and the United Kingdom, where they interviewed religious practitioners and observed their use of material objects in ritual settings. They argue that these objects serve as powerful mediators between individuals and the divine, enabling believers to experience transcendence and connect with the sacred. The book also delves into the ways in which technology is disrupting traditional religious practices and creating new forms of religious expression. The authors examine how digital technologies are being used to create virtual religious spaces and rituals, and how objects like smartphones and wearable technology are changing the way people engage with religion. Overall, "Material Beliefs" offers a nuanced and thought-provoking exploration of the complex relationship between material objects, religion, and technology. It is a valuable read for anyone interested in the intersection of these fields, and provides insights into the ways in which our understanding of religion and spirituality is being shaped by technological innovation. The condition of the book is very good and the pages inside the book are clean.
