  abstract: What brings religious scholars Constance Furey, Sarah Hammerschlag and Amy Hollywood together in Devotion is a shared conviction that "reading helps us live with and through the unknown." For them, the nature of reading raises questions fundamental to how we think about our political futures and modes of human relation. Each essay suggests different ways to characterize the object of devotion and the stance of the devout subject before it. Furey writes about devotion in terms of vivification, energy and artifice, Hammerschlag in terms of commentary, mimicry and fetishism and Hollywood in terms of anarchy, antinomianism and atopia. They are interested in literature not as providing models for ethical, political or religious life, but as creating the site in which the possible-and the impossible-transport the reader, enabling new forms of thought, habits of mind and modes of life. Ranging from German theologian Martin Luther to French-Jewish philosopher Sarah Kofman to American poet Susan Howe, this volume is not just a reflection on forms of devotion, it is also an enactment of devotion itself.
