Klappentext zu „The Implied Spider: Politics and Theology in Myth “
Wendy Doniger's foundational study is both modern in its engagement with a diverse range of religions and refreshingly classic in its transhistorical, cross-cultural approach. By responsibly analyzing patterns and themes across context, Doniger reinvigorates the comparative reading of religion, tapping into a wealth of narrative traditions, from the instructive tales of Judaism and Christianity to the moral lessons of the "Bhagavad Gita." She extracts political meaning from a variety of texts while respecting the original ideas of each. A new preface confronts the difficulty of contextualizing the comparison of religions as well as controversies over choosing subjects and positioning arguments, and the text itself is expanded and updated throughout.

A timely meditation on what comparative studies might mean. . . . The Implied Spider wrestles with the problems of carrying out the kind of study represented by Splitting the Difference¿a cross-cultural comparison of different stories from different areas of the world, different tribes, different languages. ¿ Margaret Anne Doody, London Review of Books
