Spirituality is, too often, subsumed under the heading of religion
and treated as much the same kind of thing. Yet spirituality
extends far beyond the spaces of religion. The spiritual makes
geography strange, challenging the relationship between the known
and the unknown, between the real and the ideal, and prompting
exciting possibilities for charting the ineffable spaces of the
divine which lie somehow beyond geography. In setting itself that
task, this book pushes the boundaries of geographies of religion to
bring into direct focus questions of spirituality. By seeing
religion through the lens of practice rather than as a set of
beliefs, geographies of religion can be interpreted much more
widely, bringing a whole range of other spiritual practices and
spaces to light. The book is split into three sections, each
contextualised with an editors' introduction, to explore the spaces
of spiritual practice, the spiritual production of space, and
spiritual transformations. This book intends to open to up new
questions and approaches through the theme of spirituality, pushing
the boundaries on current topics and introducing innovative new
ideas, including esoteric or radical spiritual practices. This
landmark book not only captures a significant moment in geographies
of spirituality, but acts as a catalyst for future work.
