Secret Body
Erotic and Esoteric Currents in the History of Religions
Book • 2017
In 'Secret Body', Jeffrey J. Kripal integrates his two major areas of study—erotic expressions of mystical experience and the rise of the paranormal in American culture—into a revolutionary historiography of religion.
The book offers a new vision for the study of religion, combining personal narrative with scholarly analysis to propose a 'new comparativism' that engages with critiques from the sciences and humanities.
