Encyclopedia of Religion, Volume 13: South American Indian Religions–Transcendence and Immanence

This volume provides a multidisciplinary examination of religious subjects ranging from Indigenous South American traditions to the philosophical relationship between transcendence and immanence. Its articles investigate how religions construct cosmologies, preserve sacred traditions, organize communities, and articulate relationships among humanity, nature, society, and ultimate reality. By integrating historical evidence, textual interpretation, philosophical analysis, and ethnographic research, the volume offers a comprehensive framework for understanding both the diversity and recurring structures of religious life.
