Landscapes of the Sacred: Geography and Narrative in American Spirituality

by Belden C. Lane

Landscapes of the Sacred: Geography and Narrative in American Spirituality Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This substantially expanded edition of Belden C. Lane's Landscapes of the Sacred includes a new introductory chapter that offers three new interpretive models for understanding American sacred space. Lane maintains his approach of interspersing shorter and more personal pieces among full-length essays that explore how Native American, early French and Spanish, Puritan New England, and Catholic Worker traditions has each expressed the connection between spirituality and place. A new section at the end of the book includes three chapters that address methodological issues in the study of spirituality, the symbol-making process of religious experience, and the tension between place and placelessness in Christian spirituality.

Book News Annotation:

In this collection of scholarly essays and personal reflections, Lane (theology, Saint Louis U.) examines the connection between spirituality and place in the Native American, early French and Spanish, Puritan, Shaker, and Catholic Worker traditions. The expanded edition features a new introductory chapter that offers three new interpretive models for understanding American sacred space. The volume is not indexed.
