Shapiro delves into the profound impact of art, particularly literature and film, on traditional interpretations and critical studies of religious beliefs and experiences. Through a meticulous examination of the works of prolific and acclaimed writers like Toni Morrison, Philip K. Dick, and Robert Coover, Shapiro seeks to unravel the intricate ways in which these artistic creations shape our understanding of religion. By juxtaposing their work with critical analyses of media by renowned directors such as Ingmar Bergman and Pier Paolo Pasolini, as well as incorporating the insights of groundbreaking thinkers like George Canguilhem, Giorgio Agamben, and Slavoj Žižek, Shapiro embarks on a truly interdisciplinary exploration of the question of how life should be lived. His insightful assessment of phenomenological subjectivity not only challenges traditional notions but also extends the criticism of Pauline theology, offering a fresh perspective on the complexities of religious belief and its societal implications. This thought-provoking work is a testament to Shapiro's intellectual prowess and his commitment to exploring the boundaries of human understanding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 490g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 163 x 241 x 19 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781350164307                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Professor Michael J.Shapiro","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44094423105786,"sku":"9781350164307","price":50.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/be1830ed8b4a679d18879cfae0279be5.jpg?v=1635740562","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/phenomenology-of-religious-belief-media-philosophy-and-the-arts","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
