Why do these pilgrims choose to journey\u003cbr\u003ehalfway around the world? How do\u003cbr\u003ethey react to what they encounter, and how do\u003cbr\u003ethey understand the trip upon return? This book places the\u003cbr\u003eanswers to these questions into the context of broad historical trends, analyzing how\u003cbr\u003ethe growth of mass-market evangelical and Catholic pilgrimage\u003cbr\u003erelates to changes in American Christian\u003cbr\u003etheology and culture over the last sixty years, \u003cbr\u003eincluding shifts in Jewish-Christian relations, the growth of small group spirituality, and the development of a Christian\u003cbr\u003eleisure industry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing on five years\u003cbr\u003eof research with pilgrims before, during and after their trips, Walking Where Jesus Walked offers a lived religion approach that\u003cbr\u003eexplores the trip's hybrid nature for pilgrims themselves: both ordinary--tied\u003cbr\u003eto their everyday role as the family's ritual specialists, and\u003cbr\u003eextraordinary--since they leave home in a dramatic way, often for the first\u003cbr\u003etime. Their experiences illuminate key tensions in contemporary US Christianity\u003cbr\u003ebetween material evidence and transcendent divinity, commoditization and\u003cbr\u003ereligious authority, domestic relationships and global experience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHillary Kaell crafts the first in-depth study of the\u003cbr\u003ecultural and religious significance of American Holy Land pilgrimage after\u003cbr\u003e1948. The result sheds light on how Christian pilgrims, especially women, make\u003cbr\u003esense of their experience in Israel-Palestine, offering an important complement\u003cbr\u003eto top-down approaches in studies of Christian Zionism and foreign policy.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 04, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42666267836512,"sku":"9781479831845","price":87.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/1922\/9280\/files\/NjhHRU84WkIwNlMvL2psWEc0YkYxUT09.webp?v=1774666260","url":"https:\/\/bijoucc.myshopify.com\/products\/walking-where-jesus-walked-american-christians-and-holy-land-pilgrimage-paperback-1","provider":"CARIBBEAN CONNECT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
