Religious Representation in Place

Religious Representation in Place brings together an interdisciplinary group of scholars from the Humanities and Sciences to broaden the understanding of how religious symbols and spatial studies interact. The essays consider the relevance of religion in the experience of space, a fundamental dimension of culture and human life.

“All chapters in this rich book are solidly and carefully crafted; interconnections between them appear clear and thought-provoking in spite of the volume’s wide range of approaches. … George and Pezzoli-Olgiati provide a rich, thought provoking and highly valuable contribution to the accelerating discourse on how space/place and religion interact in an excitingly complex way.” (Sigurd Bergmann, Theologische Literaturzeitung, Vol. 141 (10), 2016)
