The only book of its kind, this balanced and accessibly written text explores the geographical study of religion.
Roger W. Stump provides a full and impartial discussion of religious doctrines, beliefs, events, and practices.
The author's broad, comparative approach is bolstered by a wealth of case studies ranging from the major world
religions to a diversity of indigenous, unconventional, and extinct religions. Illustrating religious concepts
with both traditional and current examples, Stump considers the historical and contemporary interactions between
religion and diverse social, political, and cultural phenomena. Presenting geographical and religious ideas in
accessible language, the book offers an invaluable and unique examination of the intersection of religious belief
and practice with the concepts of place and space.
