Product Description

Product Description

The place in which we stand is often taken for granted and ignored in our increasingly mobile society. Differentiating between place and space, this book argues that place has very much more influence upon human experience than is generally recognised and that this lack of recognition, and all that results from it, are dehumanising. John Inge presents a rediscovery of the importance of place, drawing on the resources of the Bible and the Christian tradition to demonstrate how Christian theology should take place seriously. A renewed understanding of the importance of place from a theological perspective, has much to offer in working against the dehumanising effects of the loss of place. Community and places each build the identity of the other; this book offers important insights in a world in which the effects of globalisation continue to erode people's rootedness and experience of place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Location, location, location, 27 Mar 2006
By Mark N. Vernon (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was in a modern, shiney, office building yesterday - all marble facing and glass. It was an elegant, impressive space but somehow looked as if it had only been put up yesterday and could as easily be pulled down tomorrow. Like an airport lounge, it had absolutely no sense of place. This lack of place, and the fixation on spaces in modern architecture and life, is the subject of Inge's book. Using theological resources, ancient and modern, he shows why place matters and what we lack without it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A real Contribution, 22 Jan 2004
By t quibell (East Quayside, Newcastle-upon-Tyne United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This book makes a lucid and timely analysis of the sense of sacred space available to us as citizens of a global society. We all need to rediscover a the reality of the eternal within the temporal and John Inge gives us an essential roadmap to guide us on our way. Although scholarly, I found this book very assessible and a real help in thinking through what it is that gives me a feeling that here is where prayer has been valid.
