Summary
What might it mean, existentially and spiritually, to form an intimate relation with discrete sites or dwelling places on earth? This text offers a uniquely integrative perspective on the matter. Blending theological and cultural analysis, it focuses on the multi-layered witness enshrined in American literary texts and demonstrates that hallowed geography and the sacramentality of place have mattered throughout our history.--, Provided by publisher
