THEORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF RELIGION
Sacred Kingship in World History
Liquid Light
Ayahuasca Spirituality and the Santo Daime Tradition
Between Immanence and Transcendence
G. William Barnard
Edited by A. Azfar Moin and Alan Strathern
Sacred kingship has been the core political form, in small-scale societies and in vast empires, for much of world history. This collaborative and interdisciplinary book recasts the relationship between religion and politics by exploring this institution in long-term and global comparative perspective.
The Santo Daime is a syncretic religion whose spiritual practice is based around the sacramental use of ayahuasca. G. William Barnard—an initiate of the religion and a scholar of religious studies—considers the religious practice and transformative inner experiences of the Santo Daime community.
