Extract

A longstanding but inchoate preoccupation of mine is the geography of religions. How are landscape and religious faith related? In the context of this question, the definition of religion with which I work entails two considerations: first, what landscape features are incorporated into traditional religious symbol systems? I shall make a few observations about this geographic symbology below. Second, what is the existential connection between landscape and personal faith, i.e. between physical land features and human perceptions, values and commitments. It is this latter enquiry that is the main concern of this paper.
