All pilgrimages should be stopped.' This blunt assertion by Martin
Luther, echoed unanimously by the sixteenth-century Protestant
Reformers, is the pivot of Professor Davies's fascinating and
original study. Why were pilgrimages condemned? To answer the
question he gathers together material to illustrate the nature of
pilgrimages and the motives behind them, extending from patristic
times to the Middle Ages. Then he studies the effects of the
condemnation on the flourishing pilgrimage trade. During the
nineteenth century, the Holy Land again attracted visitors, even
among Protestants; here is another change which needs to be
explained. Pilgrimages may have been resurrected in our day, but
there has been little examination in depth of the criticisms
previously levelled against them among Protestants. A substantial
chapter attempts to fill this gap, at the same time supplying a
modern theology of pilgrimage. The book ends with a review of the
devotional aspects of modern pilgrimages, and with suggestions
about possible services, use of the Bible, meditations and soon. J.
G. Davies was Professor and former Head of the Department of
Theology in the University of Birmingham.
