The Encyclopedia of the World's Mystical and Sacred Sites by John Spencer,Anne Spencer Pdf

From the Machui Picchu - the Inca stronghold in the Peruvian Andes - to the Pyramids in Egypt - the site of the dawn of civilization - there are certain places on Earth which continue to exert a mysterious hold over us through the centuries. In an easy-to-use reference form, this text tells the stories and the places where the foundations of religions and beliefs have been laid - both the famous, such as Easter Island, Lourdes in France, and England's Stonehenge, and the less well known, such as The Devil's Tower in Wyoming, an ancient Indian sacred ground which featured in the UFO movie Close Encounters with perhaps a closer link than was intended by the film makers.

The Politics of Sacred Places by Nimrod Luz Pdf

The Politics of Sacred Places is a study of the socio-political dimensions of sacred sites in Israel–Palestine, drawing on over 20 years of in-depth ethnographic research which introduces cutting-edge theories on secularization, struggles for recognition, and diversity issues. This book focuses on contemporary sacred sites and their socio-political meanings for minorities within a hegemonic and a secularizing state-system. It argues that sacred places provide a space that is less scrutinized by the state and where alternative visions of the socio-political may be produced. A plethora of sites and case studies are examined, including the rural shrine of Maqam abu al-Hijja in the lower Galilee, the Mosque of Hassan Bek in the heart of Tel Aviv-Jaffa and the most disputed sacred place in the region, the Haram al-Sharif in Jerusalem. These sites are explored through mostly a phenomenological lens and in various contexts, from the individual body to the global. This book offers a critical-analytical study of the socio-political aspects of sacred sites in contemporary societies within the broader understanding of scale and the spatial turn in the study of religion.

Advances in Utopian Studies and Sacred Architecture by Claudio Gambardella,Claudia Cennamo,Maria Luisa Germanà,Mohd Fairuz Shahidan,Hocine Bougdah Pdf

At a time dominated by the disappearance of Future, as claimed by the French anthropologist Marc Augé, Utopia and Religion seem to be two different ways of giving back an inner horizon to mankind. Therefore this book, on the one hand, considers the importance of utopia as a tool and how it offers an economic and social resource to improve cities’ wealth, future and livability. On the other, it explores the impact of religious and cultural ideals on cities that have recently emerged in this context. Based on numerous observations, the book examines the intellectual legacy of utopian theory and practices across various academic disciplines. It also presents discussions, theories, and case studies addressing a range of issues and topics related to utopia.

Sacred Places by C.J. Scott Pdf

Sacred Places is a book that looks at the biblical theology of place, exploring its central importance in Gods creation and mission. It takes its readers on an expository journey through place, from the Garden of Eden to the New Jerusalem, discovering the pattern of placement, displacement, and replacement in life and faith. If you are a Christian seeking to understand the Bibles teaching on place and how that affects both our faith and lives in the world, then this book is for you. It will open your eyes to the central importance of place and give you direction on how you can apply a healthy understanding of place to your life as a disciple of Jesus Christ, making you a better place maker and dweller. The thesis of this book is that place is far more important than we ever could have imagined. I am specifically proposing that (1) places are sacred because of Gods decree and personal presence, (2) place plays a major role in Gods creative and redemptive purposes, and (3) Gods people are called to be both place makers and dwellers.

Encyclopedia of Sacred Theology: Its Principles by Abraham Kuyper Pdf

This is the English translation of Abraham Kuyper's magisterial volume on the principles of theology. This work had a profound influence on conservative twentieth century Reformed theology, but has been out of print since the late 19th century. In it, Kuyper covers the place of theology among the sciences, the method and history of theology, the effects of sin, the doctrine of inspiration, and much more. The introduction is by Prof. B. B. Warfield. This beautiful new edition has been carefully edited and prepared. It is the first unabridged version to be republished in over one hundred years.
