Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n In Religions and Trade a number of international scholars investigate the ways in which eastern and western religions were formed and transformed from the perspective of \"trade.\" Trade changes religions. Religions expand through the help of trade infrastructures, and religions extend and enrich the trade relations with cultural and religious \"commodities\" which they contribute to the “market place” of human culture and religion. This leads to the inclusion, demarcation and densification as well as the amalgamation of religious traditions.  In an attempt to find new pathways into the world of religious dynamics, this collection of essays focuses on four elements or “commodities” of religious interchange: topologies of religious space, religious symbol systems, religious knowledge, and religious-ethical ways of life.  Contributors include: Christoph Auffarth, Izak Cornelius, Georgios Halkias, Geoffrey Herman, Livia Kohn, Al Makin, Jason Neelis, Volker Rabens, Abhishek Singh Amar, Loren Stuckenbruck, Joan Goodnick Westenholz, Peter Wick, Michael Willis, and Sylvia Winkelmann.  \n\n                                         Editorial Reviews                   Review   \"the essays in this collection treat an extremely diverse range of topics, and the effort to tie them together through the theme of religion and trade often feels somewhat forced. [..] Thus, while the individual contributions generally appear to be of a high scholarly standard, their attraction will perhaps be more disciplinary than thematic\" - Richard Foltz, Concordia University Montréal, in: Entangled Religions 3 (2016), 70-73           About the Author   Peter Wick, Ph.D. (1993, Basel), is Professor in New Testament Studies and the History of Early Christianity at the University of Bochum (Germany).
