Religion and the Human, a joint book series from Indiana University Press and the Indiana University Center for Religion and the Human, promotes rigorous and imaginative interdisciplinary scholarship on religion (including spirituality, theology, and secularism) in response to the pressing question of what it means to be human today. Religion and the Human approaches religion as a living constellation of thought and practice that shapes how we think and act, as well as what we think about and do. Questioning modern divides between the religious and the secular, enchantment and disenchantment, books in this series attend to the richness of their borderlands, intervening in debates across science, technology, nature, politics, and culture to reveal how these arenas often function religiously in their own right. By centering the human as a question rather than as a given—thereby refusing to treat it as the ultimate source of meaning—Religion and the Human likewise interrogates and refines ideas of the human in ways ever mindful of power and authority—creatively attentive to the social, material, and ecological dynamics that such questions entail. The series welcomes proposals that attend in innovative ways to a wide variety of pedagogical needs and contexts.
