Landscapes of the Soul: A Spirituality of Place

In this wide-ranging discussion, Robert Hamma draws upon scripture, psychology, and theology to lay out the framework for a spirituality of place. He explores what is involved in developing a 'sense of place' and reminds readers how the places of childhood become so important. After an exploration of the ancient Hebrews' tradition of 'the land' and Jesus' own sense of place, he leads readers to discover those places that have impacted them most, in particular home. Readers will find that they suddenly see with new eyes the places-past and present-that have shaped their spiritual journeys and recognize them as doorways to the sacred.

5Insightful and inspiring  Aug 31, 1999

Thanks to Robert Hamma and his book Landscapes of the Soul, which has helped me to look at the places in my life in a new way. In this book, the author suggests that there is no ordinary place, for the presence of the divine is everywhere, all we have to do is be attentive. Hamma encourages readers to listen, to smell, to taste, to touch, and to see, so that we might better develop a sense of place. Throughout the book the author shares some of his own experiences and explains how different places have had meaning in his life. But he also looks at cultural and religious traditions to see how place has had meaning throughout history. One great feature of this book is the exercises at the end of each chapter, which allow the reader time to reflect more personally on places in his or her life and what impact they have had. This book truly is full of insight and inspiration!

2Way too Christian for me  Dec 21, 2009
By anonymous
This book gives a decent sense of place, but the author ruined the book because it's so full of Christ-this and Christ-that. Enough already. The author doesn't even try to speak universally. A more accurate title would have been "Landscape of the Soul: Christian Places."
