Bergmann, Sigurd. creator text xx New Brunswick, New Jersey : Transaction Publishers , 2014 9999 First edition. monographic und xix, 479 p. : illustrations ; 24 cm. Religion, Space, and the Environment by Sigurd Bergmann is an interdisciplinary study that investigates the relationship between religion, space, place, and the natural environment. The author argues that religion should not simply be understood as existing within particular environments but as something fundamentally shaped by spatial experiences and ecological relationships. Religious beliefs, rituals, memories, and identities develop through people's interactions with landscapes, cities, sacred places, and the natural world. The book combines perspectives from religious studies, geography, environmental humanities, theology, architecture, and cultural studies. Bergmann explores diverse topics including sacred landscapes, urban religious life, pilgrimage, indigenous spiritual traditions, environmental justice, climate change, ecological theology, and the role of religion in shaping attitudes toward nature. Through examples drawn from Europe, Asia, Australia, and the Americas, he demonstrates how religious traditions both influence and are influenced by environmental change, cultural memory, and human mobility. / Sigurd Bergmann.
