Christian Tourist Attractions, Mythmaking, and Identity Formation
examines a sampling of contemporary Christian tourist attractions
that position visitors as the inheritors of ancient, sacred
traditions and make claims about the truth of the historical
narratives that they promote. Rather than approaching these
attractions as sacred expressions of religious experience or as
uncontested accounts of history, the book applies recent work on
mythmaking and identity formation to argue that these presentations
of the past function as strategic discourses that serve material
concerns in the present. From an approach informed by social and
materialist theories of religion, the volume draws upon a variety
of methodological approaches that enable readers to understand the
often-bewildering array of objects, claims, demands, and activities
(not to mention the seemingly endless array of gifts and personal
items available for purchase) that appear at attractions including
Ark Encounter, the Creation Museum, the Holy Land Experience, Bible
Walk Museum, Christian Zionist tours of Israel, and the recently
opened Museum of the Bible. Discourse analysis, practice theory,
rhetorical criticism, and embodied theories of cognition help make
sense not only of the Christian tourist attractions under
examination but also of the ways that "religion" is entangled with
contemporary social, political, and economic interests more
broadly.
An astonishingly cute children's tale, "Sampson The Snowflake"
tells the story of a special snowflake made for Christmas night
winds. A winter wind blows him off his course and now he needs to
find his way back in time for Christmas Eve.
