Transcendence and sensoriness : perceptions, revelation, and the Arts /
:
Protestant theology and culture are known for a reserved, at times skeptical, attitude to the use of art and aesthetic forms of expression in a religious context. In Transcendence and Sensoriness , this attitude is analysed and discussed both theoretically and through case studies considered in a broad theological and philosophical framework of religious aesthetics. Nordic scholars of theology, philosophy, art, music, and architecture, discuss questions of transcendence, the human senses, and the arts in order to challenge established perspectives within the aesthetics of religion and theology.

The Rainboy : Tulu Folk Tales /
:
The tales in this collection give a glimpse of the folk sensibilities of the Tulu people of Karnataka, and illustrate the heterogeneity of their society. They were narrated by various persons in different times and space. However, enough care has taken for including tales from actual narrators in real context. They have been chosen from different regions of Tulunādu and the people from whom the stories were collected by the fieldworkers belonged to different castes, age groups and genders. The collection includes male and women centered tales, tales about families, fate, gods, demons, and animals. They unveil various kinds of actors, human and non-human, myriad situations and predicaments. The Rainboy also offers a variety of pictures and is drawn in different colours. They are unique to the society which narrated or heard them. As in all folktales, they vary from the real to the fanciful, of this world to the world beyond, of men and women of all kinds to animals and birds of all kinds, about the experience that we have had to the experience that we wish to have. As A.K. Ramanujan once said - 'Read these tales and don't forget to pass them on. You never know what might happen'. A delightful and essential collection for anyone interested in Tulu folklore.
