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.

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.
