The Real Presence
Originally published in 1928, this book was written as an exploration of 'the theory and implications of localisation in cultus'. The text considers forms of divine presence in a variety of religious contexts, drawing a broad distinction between 'symbolic' and 'direct' manifestations of divinity in concrete objects. A notes section is included at the end. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in anthropology and religion.
