总结:This book examines the relationships between religious institutions and heritage making. It argues that the relationships between the two are not as clear cut as some might think. In fact, the authors show that religious activity has always combined the religious habitus of caring for the past with conscious practices of heritage-making. This is termed the religious heritage complex. Case studies explore Christian, Afro-Brazilian, Muslim and Buddhist traditions located in Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia. By investigating the longstanding and tightly-enmeshed connections that weave together religion and cultural heritage, the religious heritage complex allows us to think through the ambiguity of religious heritage, rather than taking for granted the distinctiveness of religion and heritage practices. The book considers the ways patrimony, religion and identity interact in different contexts worldwide and how religious objects and sites function as identity. It focuses on heritage-making as a religious and material activity for the groups in charge of a religious inheritance, and considers heritage activities as a form of spiritual renewal and transmission
