{"product_id":"no-home-like-place-leonard-hjalmarson-9780692393611","title":"No Home Like Place: A Christian Theology of Place","description":"\"The sense of being lost, displaced, and homeless is pervasive in contemporary culture. The yearning to belong somewhere, to be in a safe place, is a deep and moving pursuit. Loss of place and yearning for place are dominant images ...\" (Brueggemann, The Land) Fragmentation, mobility, dualism--these forces work against our belonging, and work against our richly dwelling in the places we live. Add to these the rise of \"virtual\" place and relationships, and our sense of displacement only increases. It has been difficult to embrace a call to life as mission in this world under these conditions, and equally difficult to embrace a call to place. Are there \"sacred\" places? If every place is sacred, does the word lose its meaning? What is it that God loves about place? Can architecture contribute to our ability to engage in a place? How do experiential human questions like \"belonging\" intersect with a theological lens? Does a biblical view of place imply an ecology and an ethic? How do pilgrimage and place relate? How can the arts assist us in place-making? This book addresses these questions and more, in a lively dialogue between theology and culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Leonard Hjalmarson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0692393617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692393611\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Urban Loft Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/29\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.55d","brand":"Leonard Hjalmarson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946978377983,"sku":"9780692393611","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_685956e1-e1a8-4535-8a1f-7363d53f7e11.jpg?v=1681515993","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/no-home-like-place-leonard-hjalmarson-9780692393611","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
