Religion og spiritualitet
Religious Calendars explores how religion profoundly influences our understanding of time by examining the diverse timekeeping systems used across various faiths. It reveals how calendars aren't just about marking days, but are integral to defining sacred moments, festivals, and life cycle events, reflecting core values and historical experiences.
Delving into Jewish, Christian, Islamic, Hindu, and Buddhist traditions, the book uncovers the intricate methodologies used to reconcile lunar and solar cycles, showcasing how cultural adaptations have shaped their evolution. For example, the Jewish lunar calendar connects to agricultural cycles and historical events like Passover, while the Islamic lunar calendar dictates a fixed cycle of religious observances.
This exploration isn't just historical; it extends to the modern world, considering the impact of globalization and secularization on these traditional systems. The book adopts a comparative approach, highlighting both the commonalities and differences in how cultures make sense of time within a divine context.
By drawing upon primary religious texts, historical documents, and insights from fields like anthropology and astronomy, Religious Calendars provides a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective. The book progresses from foundational principles to detailed analyses of specific calendars, culminating in discussions about their contemporary relevance and adaptation.
