      abstract = {This book provides philosophical grounds for an emerging  area of scholarship: the study of religion and dance. In  the first part, LaMothe investigates why scholars in  religious studies have tended to overlook dance, or  rhythmic bodily movement, in favor of textual expressions  of religious life. In close readings of Descartes, Kant,  Schleiermacher, Hegel, and Kierkegaard, LaMothe traces this  attitude to formative moments of the field in which  philosophers relied upon the practice of writing to mediate  between the study of "religion," on the one hand, and  "theology," on the other. In the second part, LaMothe  revives the work of theologian, phenomenologist, and  historian of religion Gerardus van der Leeuw for help in  interpreting how dancing can serve as a medium of religious  experience and expression. In so doing, LaMothe opens new  perspectives on the role of bodily being in religious life,  and on the place of theology in the study of religion.},
