In this book, Veronika Rybanska explores how ritual participation affects the cognitive abilities of children.

Throughout their entire lives, everyone is at war with an enemy, the extent of whose strength and influence they perhaps fail to fully comprehend. Those who are constantly in conflict with others, who always believe that violence is the answer, who take pleasure in brutality, murder chaos and anarchy, in short, those who harm the peace and security of the world, have lost the war against this foe, whether they realize it or not, and have fallen under his control . This most dangerous enemy is the Devil, described to us in all aspects of God in the Qur’an.

Free Download Senses, Cognition, and Ritual Experience in the Roman World
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1009355546 | 241 Pages | PDF | 5 MB
How do the senses shape the way we perceive, understand, and remember ritual experiences? This book applies cognitive and sensory approaches to Roman rituals, reconnecting readers with religious experiences as members of an embodied audience. These approaches allow us to move beyond the literate elites to examine broader audiences of diverse individuals, who experienced rituals as participants and/or performers. Case studies of ritual experiences from a variety of places, spaces, and contexts across the Roman world, including polytheistic and Christian rituals, state rituals, private rituals, performances, and processions, demonstrate the dynamic and broad-scale application that cognitive approaches offer for ancient religion, paving the way for future interdisciplinary engagement.
