ABSTRACT

In this ground-breaking work, different concepts of religion, theology, space and place and their internal relations are discussed in an impressive range of approaches. While we think that the interaction between religion, space and nature needs its own dedicated treatment, we also consider that religious/theological perspectives are necessary but not sufficient. A wider range of disciplines is required to engage comprehensively with this theme. In this book, the reader will find a weaving together of perspectives – from religious studies and theology as well as from geography, anthropology, architecture, landscape architecture, archaeology, and philosophy. As such, this book embodies an innovative and truly transdisciplinary environmental science.
