Описание: Early Byzantine Pilgrimage Art explores the portable artifacts of eastern Mediterranean pilgrimage from the fifth to the seventh century, presenting them in the context of contemporary pilgrims' texts and the archaeology of sacred sites. The book shows how the iconography and devotional piety of Byzantine pilgrimage art changed, and it surveys the material and social culture of pilgrimage. What did these early religious travelers take home with them and what did they leave behind? Where were these "sacred souvenirs" manufactured and what was their purpose? How did the images imprinted upon many of them help realize that purpose? The first edition of this pathbreaking book, published in 1982, established late antique pilgrimage and its artifacts as an important topic of study. In this revised, enlarged version, Gary Vikan significantly expands the narrative by situating the miraculous world of the early Byzantine pilgrim within the context of late antique magic and pre-Christian healing shrines, and by considering the trajectory of pilgrimage after the Arab conquest of the seventh century.

Описание: Life was falling apart. Within the space of three years, Sonia Choquette had suffered the unexpected death of two close family members, seen her marriage implode, and been let down by trusted colleagues. And sympathy was not forthcoming. "You're a world-renowned spiritual teacher and intuitive guide," people jeered. "How could you not have seen this coming?" Having intuitive abilities didn't make her superhuman, however. Nor did it exempt her from being wounded or suffering the pain of loss and the consequences of our all-too-human traits such as anger, resentment, and pride--traits that can lead even the best of us to stray from our spiritual path.
In order to regain her spiritual footing, Sonia turned to the age-old practice of pilgrimage and set out to walk the legendary Camino de Santiago, an 820-kilometer trek over the Pyrenees and across northern Spain. Day after day she pushed through hunger, exhaustion, and pain to reach her destination. Eventually, mortification of the flesh gave way to spiritual renewal, and she rediscovered the gifts of humility and forgiveness that she needed to repair her world.
In this riveting book, Sonia shares the intimate details of her grueling experience, as well as the unexpected moments of grace, humor, beauty, and companionship that supported her through her darkest hours. While her journey is unique, the lessons she learned--about honoring your relationships with others as well as with your own higher self, and forgiving all else--are universal.
Описание: Islamic Globalization examines the Muslim world's growing importance in creating a more inclusive international system that is increasingly multipolar and multicultural. The author describes an emerging pattern of Islamic globalization as a series of transformations in four interrelated areas -- pilgrimage and religious travel, capitalism and Islamic finance, democracy and Islamic modernism, and diplomacy and great power politics. The book integrates the disciplines of religion, politics, economics, law, and international relations highlighting developments in the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa. It provides new insights into the rapidly growing ties between China and the Islamic world, exploring their likely impact on the balance of power in Eurasia and beyond.
Описание: This book covers ideological motives and religious perceptions behind travel to sites. Beginning with contemporary perspectives of pilgrimage, it then discusses management aspects such as logistics, infrastructure, malevolent behaviour and evangelical volunteers, and provides practical applications, models and illustrations to aid understanding.

Описание: The Lore of the Camino de Santiago: A Literary Pilgrimage offers a different view of the ancient pilgrimage route from France to the shrine of Saint James in Santiago, Spain. Instead of leading you to accommodations, eateries and other pilgrim necessities, this book guides you to the literary creations found on or near the Camino along with some personal observations by the author. Most pilgrims walk the Camino never knowing or being aware of these stories. Some of the stories are folkloric and handed down orally. Some of the written works have endured the centuries and are considered literary masterpieces. While some sources are very old there are also some modern creations. Whatever their source, their inclusion with the Camino journey enriches it and perhaps gives the pilgrim or reader a better understanding of the Camino. At the same time the book delights and entertains as well as informs. Follow the path from St. Jean Pied de Port to Santiago de Compostela with tales of knights, a nun, some rogues, and "the lost generation" to name a few. Experience the heartbreak of parents who lose their only son to the hangman's noose or the father who carries his two small children to Santiago after his wife dies and an evil innkeeper confiscates his property including his mule used for travelling. Even the most obstinate reader or pilgrim would want to know the story behind one of the bridges crossed on this odyssey known as "Rabies' Bridge," or why chickens that live in an elevated coop in one of the grandiose cathedrals along the Camino are so revered. If you are a pilgrim about to do the Camino, the travel advisory "Know before you go" could well include the reading of this book. You will no doubt be on the lookout for these places, finding yourself anticipating the places before you see them, or making sure you do find them. Following the descriptions in the book will aid you in your task. Once you find them, the pleasure will be immeasurable. Whether you are a pilgrim or an armchair reader, you will uncover the hidden literary treasures found on the Camino de Santiago in this book. Through this reading you will gain a better and broader insight to the Camino.
