How do Christians make relationships with land central to their
faith? How have the realities of materiality, geography, and
ecology shaped Christian territories of belonging and theologies of
territory? What social-economic-political conditions surround
exchanges between religion and nature? This book explores how
Christianity intersects with nature to create unique religious
landscapes. Case studies range from the Mormon Trail across the USA
completed by thousands every year, to the Catholic devotional cult
of and shrine to St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina. Contributors examine
the entangled forms of agency between nature and culture that are
at work as Christians produce, consume, experience, imagine,
inhabit, manage, and struggle over formations of land. Focusing on
Christian engagements with land forms in the early 21st century,
this book advances the spatial turn in the study of religion,
contributes to the anthropology of religion and the study of global
Christianities, as well as our understanding of the relationship
between Christianity, space and place.
