Antón M. Pazos

Pilgrims and Pilgrimages as Peacemakers in Christianity, Judaism and Islam (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Pilgrimages can be analysed as acts of conflict - such as the Crusades - or also as platforms for relationship building and rapprochement between religions. With a set of contributions from leading experts in the field, this book explores the concept of pilgrimage in Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Some specific examples of pilgrimages that helped to strengthen links between different religions or civilisations are explored, ranging from Europe to Asia and from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century.
