knowledge-building. This calls into question traditional approaches to public
scholarship which conceive of it according to a “publication model”.
Hypermediation means that this model is too simple and at least fails to
account for the range of ways and locations that religion and knowledge of
religion are produced today.

JE SUIS MAINTENANT REMPLIR FINANCIÈREMENT EN RAISON DU PRÊT QUE J'AI OBTENU DE LFDS. Je voudrais porter cela à l'attention du public sur la façon dont je suis entré en contact avec LFDS après avoir perdu mon emploi et se voir refuser un prêt par ma banque et d'autres services financiers institution en raison de mon pointage de crédit. Je n'ai pas pu payer les frais de mes enfants. J'étais en retard sur les factures, sur le point d'être jeté hors de la maison en raison de mon incapacité à payer mon loyer. C'est pendant cette période que mes enfants m'ont été enlevés par une famille d'accueil. Ensuite, je me suis mis à chercher des fonds en ligne où j'ai perdu 3 670 $ que j'ai empruntés à des amis que j'ai été arnaqués par deux sociétés de prêt en ligne. Jusqu'à ce que je lise: Le_Meridian Funding Service (lfdsloans@outlook.com / lfdsloans@lemeridianfds.com) quelque part sur Internet, je n'ai toujours pas été convaincu à cause de ce que j'ai vécu jusqu'à ce qu'un de mes proches qui est membre du clergé me dise aussi sur le programme de prêt en cours de LFDS à un taux d'intérêt très bas de 1,9 %% et de belles conditions de remboursement sans pénalité pour défaut de paiement. Je n'ai pas d'autre choix que de les contacter également, ce que j'ai fait par SMS + 1-989-394-3740 et M. Benjamin m'a répondu Ce jour était le meilleur et le plus grand jour de ma vie que je ne pourrai jamais oublier quand je recevez une alerte de crédit de 400 000 $. J'ai utilisé le prêt efficacement pour rembourser mes dettes et démarrer une entreprise et aujourd'hui, mes enfants et moi sommes si heureux et satisfaits. Vous pouvez également les contacter par e-mail: (lfdsloans@outlook.com / lfdsloans@lemeridianfds.com) Assistance téléphonique WhatsApptext: + 1-989-394-3740 Pourquoi est-ce que je fais cela? Je fais cela pour sauver autant de personnes qui ont besoin d'un prêt pour ne pas être victime d'escroqueries sur Internet. Merci et que Dieu vous bénisse tous, je suis Oleksander Artem d'Horizon Park BC, en Ukraine.
