Religion and Development in the Asia-Pacific (eBook, ePUB)

Sacred places as development spaces

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Religion and Development in the Asia-Pacific: Sacred places as development spaces demonstrates the important role that sacred spaces can play in development interventions. It also calls for greater attention to be given to the role of sacred places as sites for development activities, and for a deeper appreciation of the way in which sacred stories and teachings inspire people to work for the benefit of others in particular locations. Covering diverse major world religions, interfaith and spiritual contexts, this book will be of considerable interest for postgraduate students and researchers in development studies, religious studies, sociology of religion and geography.
