What social-economic-political conditions surround exchanges between religion and nature?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book explores how Christianity intersects with nature to create unique religious landscapes. Case studies range from the Mormon Trail across the USA completed by thousands every year, to the Catholic devotional cult of and shrine to St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina.
