The Geography of Religion: Faith, Place, and Space
Useful . . . excellent and thought-provoking survey of the geographic study of religion. The book will undoubtedly inspire burgeoning cultural geographers to delve deeper into this often-neglected field. (Journal Of Cultural Geography)The book certainly has matured over a couple of years. It has been edited and proofread very carefully. (Reinherd HenkelErdkunde)An intriguing, challenging, comprehensive, imaginative, and innovative text that masterfully combines the best traditions of conventional studies of the geography of religion with the insights of postmodern approaches. Clearly written, it provides some of the best explanations of the subtle differences in beliefs between religious sects and schools to be found anywhere. (Roger Mark Selya, University of Cincinnati)A fresh, innovative, and well-written treatment of the geography of religion. It is also a welcome and significant addition to the geography of religion literature. As someone who teaches an upper-division course on the geography of religion, I have been frustrated with the lack of a comprehensive treatment of the subject. This text will fill that void and should be widely adopted by those who teach such courses. (Timothy G. Anderson, Ohio University)
