In Shopping Malls and Other Sacred Spaces, Jon Pahl looks at the American tendency to assign sacred function to secular spaces from Disneyland to the neighborhood shopping mall. This "spatial theology" can work to our benefit, but often it poses spiritual risks. In response to these risks, Pahl introduces a theology of place that reveals aspects of God's character through familiar biblical metaphors such as the "true vine," "the rock," and the "living water." This book creatively applies biblical theology to cultural obsessions, illuminating our American way of hallowing spaces of all kinds. It's an ideal guide for readers seeking a greater knowledge of God through place.
