Description
Pilgrimages can be analysed as acts of conflict - such as the Crusades - or also as platforms for relationship building and rapprochement between religions.
With a set of contributions from leading experts in the field, this book explores the concept of pilgrimage in Christianity, Judaism and Islam.
Some specific examples of pilgrimages that helped to strengthen links between different religions or civilisations are explored, ranging from Europe to Asia and from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century.
Even though every pilgrimage that is investigated here has helped to link different worlds, the case studies show that this relationship rarely led to a better in inter-understanding.
Nowadays, peaceful coexistence seems to be its greatest achievement.
