Occasions of Faith : An Anthropology of Irish Catholics, Paperback / softback Book

Occasions of Faith : An Anthropology of Irish Catholics Paperback / softback

Part of the Contemporary Ethnography series

Paperback / softback

Description

Devotional "occasions" or experiences by Irish Catholics form the crux of this powerful, first book-length anthropological study of Irish Catholicism. Rich in ethnographical material, wide-ranging archival sources, insightful cultural observations, vivid accounts of individual experiences, and thoughtful scrutiny of religious questions and theories illuminate twenty years of ethnographic fieldwork.

From these varied resources Lawrence Taylor creates a memorable account of the forces that shape local forms of Catholicism in southwest Donegal.
