This book is the first to examine the depth, complexity and
uniqueness of global Christian pilgrimage, travel and tourism, and
how they manifest in terms of both supply and demand. It explores
the places and spaces of production and consumption of this
increasingly important tourism phenomenon. The volume considers the
foundational elements of the attractiveness of places according to
Christian thinking - spirit of place, scriptural connections, art
and architecture, contrived/themed environments, programmed events,
volunteer travel opportunities, and visiting local communities by
way of solidarity tourism and mission work. It includes a wide
range of examples from Europe, the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Latin
America and North America and will be of interest to researchers
and students in religious studies, tourism, pilgrimage studies,
geography, anthropology and Christianity studies.

Margot E. Fassler's richly documented history-winner of the Otto
Kinkeldey Award from the American Musicological Society and the
John Nicholas Brown Prize from the Medieval Academy of
America-demonstrates how the Augustinians of St. Victor, Paris,
used an art of memory to build sonic models of the church. This
musical art developed over time, inspired by the religious ideals
of Hugh and Richard of St. Victor and their understandings of image
and the spiritual journey. Gothic Song: Victorine Sequences and
Augustinian Reform in Twelfth-Century Paris demonstrates the
centrality of sequences to western medieval Christian liturgical
and artistic experience, and to our understanding of change and
continuity in medieval culture. Fassler examines the figure of Adam
of St. Victor and the possible layers within the repertories
created at various churches in Paris, probes the ways the Victorine
sequences worked musically and exegetically, and situates this
repertory within the intellectual and spiritual ideals of the
Augustinian canons regular, especially those of the Abbey of St.
Victor. Originally published in hardover in 1993, this paperback
edition includes a new introduction by Fassler, in which she
reviews the state of scholarship on late sequences since the
original publication of Gothic Song. Her notes to the introduction
provide the bibliography necessary for situating the Victorine
sequences, and the late sequences in general, in contemporary
thought.

The Book of Waking Up invites you to wake to your coping
mechanisms, find the why behind your pain, and walk into the Divine
Love of God. The inevitable pain of life gives us many reasons to
check out--and many ways to do it. Alcohol, entertainment, pills,
shopping, porn, chasing success, cashing checks, and collecting
social media "likes"--these and so many other things anesthetize us
from the wounds of everyday living. As Seth Haines wrote in his
award-winning book, Coming Clean, "We're all drunk on something."
In his compelling follow-up, The Book of Waking Up, Seth invites
you into the story of healing. He invites you to see your coping
mechanisms for what they are--lesser lovers, which cannot bring the
peace, freedom, and wholeness you crave. Through guided
reflections, sustainable soul practices, and stories from Seth's
life and others, The Book of Waking Up points you toward the Divine
Love of God that has the power to transform your life. As Seth
writes, "Addiction is misplaced adoration." Now, join him on a
journey toward the only Love worth adoring, the only Love that
cures a soul. Join him on the journey to waking up.
This book examines the collection of prayers known as the Qumran
Hodayot (= Thanksgiving Hymns) in light of ancient visionary
traditions, new developments in neuropsychology, and
post-structuralist understandings of the embodied subject. The
thesis of this book is that the ritualized reading of reports
describing visionary experiences written in the first person "I"
had the potential to create within the ancient reader the
subjectivity of a visionary which can then predispose him to have a
religious experience. This study examines how references to the
body and the strategic arousal of emotions could have functioned
within a practice of performative reading to engender a religious
experience of ascent. In so doing, this book offers new
interdisciplinary insights into meditative ritual reading as a
religious practice for transformation in antiquity.
