Spaces for the Sacred by Philip Sheldrake
In Spaces for the Sacred, Philip Sheldrake brilliantly reveals the connection between our rootedness in the places we inhabit and the construction of our personal and religious identities. Based on the prestigious Hulsean Lectures he delivered at the University of Cambridge, Sheldrake's book examines the sacred narratives which derive from both overtly religious sites such as cathedrals, and secular ones, like the Millennium Dome, and it suggests how Christian theological and spiritual traditions may contribute creatively to current debates about place.
The subject before him is enormous, yet he succeeds in giving a comprehensive and provocative evaluationIf this reviewer were preparing a course on Christian spirituality, Spaces for the Sacred would be required reading. -- G. P. Mellick Belshaw Anglican Theological Review In Sheldrake's competent hands, place offers a locus for deepening our understanding of both religious experience and identity. Theological Studies 2004
