Landscapes of the Soul: A Spirituality of Place

In this wide-ranging discussion, Robert Hamma draws upon scripture, psychology, and theology to lay out the framework for a spirituality of place. He explores what is involved in developing a ‘sense of place’ and reminds readers how the places of childhood become so important. After an exploration of the ancient Hebrews’ tradition of ‘the land’ and Jesus’ own sense of place, he leads readers to discover those places that have impacted them most, in particular home. Readers will find that they suddenly see with new eyes the places-past and present-that have shaped their spiritual journeys and recognize them as doorways to the sacred.
