J.\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFather Demetrio has been concerned with Philippine Mythology and Folklore for a good number of years now even before these themes moved into the brighter light of more general attention and interest. For some time now he has been interested, not only in gathering together data on Philippine folklore, folk beliefs and practices, but in instituting a dialogue between philosophy and theology and the world of myth and symbol in Philippine context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe has for years labored patiently and perseveringly in the interest and service of this vari-faceted dialogue. Even a cursory reading of these essays will tell the reader that there is much of interest between the covers of this book for a very wide range of students. Father Demetrio has gathered a wealth of information and data, which he presents with care. He raises questions and points for reflection, takes up at least tentative positions which will surely stimulate others to study more deeply and to reflect more fully on the issues which are here brought to light.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003ePHILIPPINE MYTHS: THEIR MEANING\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTowards an Understanding of Philippine Myths\u003cbr\u003eEarly Filipino View of  the Universe: The Sky World\u003cbr\u003eCreation Myths among the Early Filipinos\u003cbr\u003eDeath: Its Origin and Related Beliefs among Early Filipinos\u003cbr\u003eThe Visit of the Dead and Their Return to Life\u003cbr\u003eEngkanto Belief: An Essay in Interpretation\u003cbr\u003eTowards a Classification of Bisayan Folk Beliefs and Customs\u003cbr\u003eChecklist of Beliefs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eRELIGIOUS SYMBOLS IN ORAL TRADITION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReligious Dimensions of Some Philippine Folktales\u003cbr\u003eThemes in Philippine Folktales\u003cbr\u003eFilipino Folk Memory and the Pasyon\u003cbr\u003eOn Magical Prayers and Living Christianity\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eNATIVE RELIGIONS AND MODERNIZATION AND OTHER ESSAYS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Shaman as Psychologist\u003cbr\u003eShamans, Witches and Philippine Society\u003cbr\u003eHumanity in Philippine Epics\u003cbr\u003eWaterlore in Mindanao\u003cbr\u003eCreativity and Being Truly Human\u003cbr\u003eXavier University: Center for Studies in Southeast Asian Cultures and Religions\u003cbr\u003eThe Heritage of Mindanao\u003cbr\u003eIndigenous Religions and Christianity in the Modernization Process of the Philippines\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 516\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.15 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 21, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42109057925255,"sku":"9781723885747","price":37.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/b094ebd00d55d689374ab9f06b37ffae.webp?v=1732470723","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/myths-symbols-philippines-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
