Encyclopedia of Religion, Second Edition, Volume 13: South American Indian Religions - Transcendence and Immanence
One of the few generalizations about religion that may be safely declared is that the practice of belief is always, in one
way or another, a firmly embodied affair, transpiring in the medium of the human body. Even in the hands of the most zealously ascetic or scholastic adherents, religion’s deep register is the body that is denied, cloaked, disciplined,
or scorned. In less repressive religious cultures, the body is celebrated as the vessel of memory, the bearer of social status, the medium of divine presence, and the richly adorned display of fecundity, transport, joy, or sexual union.
