Glossary
Roger W. Stump is professor emeritus of geography and religious studies at the University at Albany, SUNY.
Useful . . . excellent and thought-provoking survey of the
geographic study of religion. The book will undoubtedly inspire
burgeoning cultural geographers to delve deeper into this
often-neglected field.
*Journal of Cultural Geography*
The book certainly has matured over a couple of years. It has been
edited and proofread very carefully.
*Erdkunde*
An intriguing, challenging, comprehensive, imaginative, and
innovative text that masterfully combines the best traditions of
conventional studies of the geography of religion with the insights
of postmodern approaches. Clearly written, it provides some of the
best explanations of the subtle differences in beliefs between
religious sects and schools to be found anywhere.
*Roger Mark Selya, University of Cincinnati*
A fresh, innovative, and well-written treatment of the geography of
religion. It is also a welcome and significant addition to the
geography of religion literature. As someone who teaches an
upper-division course on the geography of religion, I have been
frustrated with the lack of a comprehensive treatment of the
subject. This text will fill that void and should be widely adopted
by those who teach such courses.
*Timothy G. Anderson, Ohio University*
