The Renewal of the Priesthood: Modernity and Traditionalism in a South Indian Temple Paperback - 2003
by C. J. Fuller
First line
IN SEPTEMBER 1976, when I had just begun research in Madurai, two young men accompanied by their wives were consecrated as new priests in the Minakshi (Min ksi) Temple.
From the rear cover
"This book is beautifully written in a clear style that will make even the most arcane aspects of the priestly profession accessible to undergraduate readers. At the same time, it is a theoretically sophisticated work that will be read widely. No one can write about the Minakshi temple priests with the authority that Dr. Fuller brings to the task. As ethnography the book is unique."--Mattison Mines, author of Public Faces, Private Voices
"In this book, C. J. Fuller has cumulated ethnographic experience and data for twenty-six years and has thus made himself into the consummate ethnographer of the priests of one of the most magnificent temples of South India."--Peter van der Veer, author of Religious Nationalism
