Gifts, Offerings, and Alms: The Role of Giving in Religion and Society
The contributions in this volume, written by renowned experts from theology, religious studies, ethnology, and political science, engage in the current discourse on gift theory, building on the work of Marcel Mauss, and examine the significance and function of gifts in various religions and cultures. Given the diversity of gifts, the following questions come into focus: Which gifts from God/deities are of paramount importance? What are the intentions behind the giving of gifts? What significance do "charitable" gifts - alms, church taxes, social contributions - hold in the ethos of religious communities? To what extent do gifts contribute to the internal cohesion of religious communities and entire societies? How is it ensured that "charitable" gifts do not entangle the recipients in undignified gift relationships?
