Faith and Place

An Essay in Embodied Religious Epistemology

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book considers how places come to acquire special religious significance, as sites for prayer or other kinds of devotional activity. It examines the ways in which sacred sites function, and the ways in which sites which have no explicitly religious import may come to bear a religious meaning.
