Landscapes of the Sacred

Exploring the intersection of spirituality and geography, this expanded edition introduces fresh interpretive models for understanding American sacred spaces. Belden C. Lane combines personal reflections with in-depth essays, examining how various traditions—Native American, early French and Spanish, Puritan New England, and Catholic Worker—articulate their relationship with the land. This blend of personal narrative and scholarly analysis enriches the discussion of how different cultures perceive and honor sacred places.
