This book is the product of a relatively long history of pilgrimage
research in a Dutch theological setting. It is intended as a report
for an international audience on this long-running programme. Two
lines are followed in the book. The first is the track of
liturgical studies, in which an historical, European ethnological
and anthropological approach has predominated. The second is a
social science track, with specific content coming from psychology
of religion. The combination of these two lines has been extremely
fruitful. In addition to results of various surveys of contemporary
pilgrimage practice and the expansion of research into ritual and
cultural context in which modern pilgrims find themselves, special
attention is also bestowed on historiographic issues involved in
orienting pilgrimage research, and its theoretical and
methodological aspects. The places of pilgrimage examined here are
Wittem, Dokkum and Amsterdam in The Netherlands, Banneux in
Belgium, Lourdes and La Salette in France, and Santiago de
Compostela in Spain. The central question which informs the whole
study is to what extent one can perhaps speak of a new type of
pilgrim today, the "modern pilgrim".
