Contemporary Christian Travel

Rezensionen / Stimmen

This book provides us with a comprehensive understanding of the arguments regarding religious tourism products and their growing consumer market. It touches upon the secular and the traditional aspects of religion in contemporary society - the believers and faithful on the one hand, and the experience seekers on the other. A well-structured book and a must-read for those interested in religious tourism. * Carlos Fernandes, Polytechnic Institute of Viana do Castelo, Portugal * This book will become the new standard work on Christian travel, a significant element in modern day tourism. There is nothing in the current literature which matches the depth and detail of this volume. It is well-organised, raises many important questions, presents well-documented arguments from a sound theoretical base and includes informative graphics and an impressive and highly valuable bibliography. * Richard Butler, Emeritus, University of Strathclyde, UK * This book is the first comprehensive study of the role of contemporary Christian travel and thus fills a huge gap in the literature. It enhances our understanding of the overall subject and offers an innovative look at the complex phenomenon of religious tourism. It reminds us of religion's centrality to our understanding of contemporary society and culture and is an essential addition to the bookshelves of researchers from various disciplines. * Noga Collins-Kreiner, University of Haifa, Israel * Contemporary Christian Travel is an academically profound yet popularly written exposition of religiously-motivated travel in today's time. -- Joshan Rodrigues, Archdiocese of Bombay, Mumbai, India * Church, Communication & Culture, Volume 3, Issue 3 *
