Contemporary tourism and travel have become a form of religion, a new opiate of the masses. However, could Church and theology be religious forms of tourism and travel? 'Bibles and Baedekers' offers a theology of tourism and exile for a modern and postmodern world. It examines the ways in which location, identity and movement have made use of religious texts and metaphor and questions the relative absence of secular texts and ideas in theology. The theology of the tourist and traveller is one of new experiences, the acquisition of identity through movement. 'Bibles and Baedekers' uniquely applies this to the postmodern Christian, embodying the fulfilment of Bonhoeffer's 'religionless Christianity', dislocated from both a secular and 'religious' world.

It has become increasingly common to read tourism and travel in the modern world as a form of religion, a new opiate of the masses. Yet what happens if we consider Church and theology as religious forms of tourism and travel? Likewise discussions of location, identity and the self have increasingly made use of religious texts, ideas and metaphors. Yet theology is wary of using secular texts, ideas and metaphors. This book addresses this oversight. It specifically seeks to re-read the modern issues of movement, location, identity and God from the insights of texts on tourism, travel and exile. What is the theology of tourism, travel and exile in a modern and postmodern world? Both tourist and traveller represent modernist theological positions, sure of what they can and will experience, sure of the sense of gaining a new identity out of movement. The postmodern Christian embodies the fulfilment of Bonhoeffer's 'religionless Christianity,' dislocated from both a secular and 'religious' world. Like an exile they exist incompletely in either location, acting as a liminal point of mutual encounter and critique.

They have little or no shelter provided, and no food; and as measles have broken out among the children, people are not willing to receive them into their houses. I understand they are living in tents. Poor souls! This cold weather is enough to kill them. camping out in the open field; some of them almost starving. We had many opportunities of helping them with money, etc. It was a sorrowful sight to see them huddling together, lying on their clothes or on the bare ground. I am thankful to say the weather has turned fine and warm, so that they will not suffer so much. Nearly every day fresh numbers arrive by train. "We visited the prison here, and found the prisoners were supplied with books from a stock which I had left with the Governor last year. The season is exceptionally late: we have snow-storms even now. There are a few English families here, whom I have visited. Mr. and Mrs. Davidson (of the British and Foreign Bible Society) are very kind. Mr. Davidson will travel with me between Tomsk and Irkutsk. It is a great privation to me not to have your letters. I hope to find a good budget when I arrive at Tomsk, God willing. "This is quite a fine town. It is the centre of mining operations. Not far away are the famous Demidoff mines, where malachite is found, and from whence the malachite room in Princess Lieven's palace received its furniture. We went yesterday to see the stone-cutting works. Some very costly articles are being prepared for the Emperor. Some vases of a very hard stone are being cut. Some of the stones are exceedingly beautiful." "Tjumen, Tuesday, May 27.--Arrived from Ekaterinburg this morning; and were...

Broadly this book is about the Arabian desert as the locus of exploration by a long tradition of British travellers that includes T. E. Lawrence and Wilfred Thesiger; more specifically, it is about those who, since 1950, have followed in their literary footsteps. In analysing modern works covering a land greater than the sum of its geographical parts, the discussion identifies outmoded tropes that continue to impinge upon the perception of the Middle East today while recognising that the laboured binaries of “East and West”, “desert and sown”, “noble and savage” have outrun their course. Where, however, only a barren legacy of latent Orientalism may have been expected, the author finds instead a rich seam of writing that exhibits diversity of purpose and insight contributing to contemporary discussions on travel and tourism, intercultural representation, and environmental awareness. By addressing a lack of scholarly attention towards recent additions to the genre, this study illustrates for the benefit of students of travel literature, or indeed anyone interested in “Arabia”, how desert writing, under the emerging configurations of globalisation, postcolonialism, and ecocriticism, acts as a microcosm of the kinds of ethical and emotional dilemmas confronting today’s travel writers in the world’s most extreme regions.

Longlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medals of Excellence This witty personal and cultural history of travel from the perspective of a Third World-raised woman of color, Airplane Mode, asks: what does it mean to be a joyous traveler when we live in the ruins of colonialism, capitalism and climate change? The conditions of travel have long been dictated by the color of passports and the color of skin. The color of one’s skin and passport have long dictated the conditions of travel. For Shahnaz Habib, travel and travel writing have always been complicated pleasures. Habib threads the history of travel with her personal story as a child on family vacations in India, an adult curious about the world, and an immigrant for whom roundtrips are an annual fact of life. Tracing the power dynamics that underlie tourism, this insightful debut parses who gets to travel, and who gets to write about the experience. Threaded through the book are inviting and playful analyses of obvious and not-so-obvious travel artifacts: passports, carousels, bougainvilleas, guidebooks, trains, the idea of wanderlust itself. Together, they tell a subversive history of travel as a Euro-American mode of consumerism—but as any traveler knows, travel is more than that. As an immigrant whose loved ones live across continents, Habib takes a deeply curious and joyful look at a troubled and beloved activity.

Fifty years after his death in 1965 the essays in this collection return to Paul Tillich to investigate his theology and its legacy, with a focus on contemporary British scholarship. Originating in a conference held in Oxford in 2014, the book contains 16 original contributions from a mixture of junior and more established scholars, most of whom have a connection to Britain. The contributions are diverse, but four themes emerge throughout the volume. Several essays are concerning with a characterisation of Tillich's theology. In dialogue with recent emphases on the radical Tillich, some essays suggest a more conservative estimation of Tillich's theology, rooted in the Idealist and classical Christian platonic traditions, whilst in constant engagement with changing existential situations. Secondly, and perhaps reflecting the context of religious diversity and theories of religious pluralism in Britain, many essays engage Tillich's approach to non-Christian religions. Thirdly, some essays address the importance of existentialist philosophy for Tillich, notably via an engagement with Sartre. Finally, a number of essays take up the diagnostic potential of Tillich's theology as a resource for engaging contemporary challenges.

Dr. Frederick Baedeker, born in Germany in 1823, earned a doctorate in philosophy, became a successful business man and educator, then founded a high-class school in Weston-super-Mare, England, to where he emigrated, married, and settled into a prosperous life. But at age forty-three, Baedeker attended a series of evangelistic meetings about which he said, "I went in a proud German infidel, and came out a humble, believing disciple of the Lord Jesus Christ." Through aristocratic connections, God granted Dr. Baedeker unprecedented access to the horrible prisons of Czarist Russia, and at one point eighty-six-year-old George Müller laids his hands on Dr. Baedeker's head and "separated him to the special ministry to the banished brethren, committing him to the loving care of our Heavenly Father." Instead of enjoying the comforts of his upper-class position, Dr. Baedeker chose to spend his days and his personal wealth to visit the downcast and forgotten so that he might lift their chins with the hope of the glorious Gospel. Frequently in great need or danger, or facing opposition, he sought and found deliverance through prayer. These proofs of God's love and faithfulness are chronicled in story after story in this powerful biography. Originally published in 1907, the year after Dr. Baedeker's death, Dr. Baedeker and His Apostolic Work in Russia is an essential Christian biography. From the author, "A life-work so signally exemplary in its long-sustained heroism for Christ, and so rich in spiritual stimulus, could not be allowed to pass unchronicled." About the Scripture Testimony Edition Walking Together Press has enhanced this classic title by identifying and marking portions of the narrative that illustrate specific Biblical topics and verses. An extensive Scripture Testimony Index has also been added containing short summaries of how each topic is illustrated, making locating specific stories easy. Furthermore, this title is one of many in the Scripture Testimony Collection.
