Religious Representation in Place Reviews

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)
