As interest increases in the role of world religions in history and international affairs, the new edition ofEncyclopedia of Sacred Places—which arrives 15 years after the publication of the original edition—provides new and updated information on site-specific religious practice and spiritually significant locations around the globe.

While many of the entries describe specific places, like the Erawan Shrine and the Rock of Cashel, others examine types of sacred sites, pilgrimages, and practices. With articles that describe both the places and their associated traditions and history, this reference book reveals the enormous diversity and cultural significance of religious practice worldwide. For students and teachers of classes ranging from high school geography to university-level courses in religious studies, geography, anthropology, and sociology, this book provides essential reference on places of great significance to the world's various faith traditions.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"There is a great deal here that can be used by high school students studying World War II, reading Greek mythology, or comparing religions. Recommended."

―

The Book Report



"Never before has a reader been able to make so extensive nor so ecumenical a pilgrimage to sites sacred to various groups and religions throughout the world. Brockman's encyclopedia should not be enshrined in reference collections; rather, it should be used there."

―

Rettig on Reference (Gale.com)



"Seldom is one tempted to peruse all the entries in an encyclopedia. However, this descriptive compilation of worldwide religious sites makes for fascinating reading. . . . [T]his volume is recommended for students of religion, history, and cultural anthropology."
