Beschreibung:
John Inge presents a rediscovery of the importance of place, drawing on the resources of the Bible and the Christian tradition to demonstrate how Christian theology should take place seriously. Community and places each build the identity of the other; this book offers important insights in a world in which the effects of globalisation continue to erode people's rootedness and experience of place.
Contents: Introduction; Place in western thought and practice; Place and the scriptures; Place and the Christian tradition: a sacramental approach; Place and the Christian tradition: pilgrimage and holy places; A renewed appreciation of place: an offering to the world; Bibliography; Index.
