        by Fiorella Giacalone, Kevin Griffin, Alfonsina Bellio, Riccardo Cruzzolin, Paola de Salvo, Laurent S. Fournier, Fiorella Giacalone, Kevin Griffin, Etienne Guillaume, André Julliard, Tony Kiely, Inga B. Kuzma, Mathilde Lamothe, Gaëlla Loiseau, Daniele Parbuono, Gianfranco Spitilli

        Local-level pilgrimages, when based on strong expressions of faith, can have a much wider local, regional and international appeal. It has been estimated that pilgrims and religious tourists number around 330 million per year, meaning development of these faith identities can help drive destination visitation and regional development. This book explores the central role of ordinary people in the popularisation of faith-based practices, thus illustrating religious tourism as an expression of cultural identity. Focusing on the interrelationship of cultural groups and the overall formation of culture and society, this book: - Uses a range of multidisciplinary, sociological and ethnographic studies to illustrate the evolution of pilgrimage sites and saints. - Includes practical case studies and illustrations of religious tourism and pilgrimage development from a variety of international perspectives. - Provides a selection of discussion questions for each chapter, encouraging readers to engage with further study and investigation of these important issues. An invaluable review of cultural identity and faith, this book delivers to scholars, students and local policy makers a collection of current perspectives on the growth, development and evolution of faith practices surrounding contemporary and historical sites and saints.

        Spiritualità e Bibbia

        by Gianfranco Ravasi

        An essay to approach the Bible as a source for an authentic spiritual life; a book that gives a biblical backing to the present revival of spirituality, avoiding any deviations or partiality.The author follows here two paths: first, he examines the Old and the New Testaments, focusing especially on the prophets, the psalms, Job, the Song of Songs, and the beatitudes. With the second path, card. Ravasi outlines a concise map of spirituality in the Scriptures, thus composing a unitary message.The final outcome is not only a guide to mysticism, but also an essential synthesis of biblical theology.

        Le sette parole di Gesù in croce

        by Gianfranco Ravasi

        Only seven short sentences, whispered by a dying Jesus on the cross. Yet, these words are so meaningful they have urged a deep theological and spiritual reflection along the centuries. According to Western culture, Jesus’ words from the cross enshrine the universal mystery of life, suffering, death and hope. Cardinal Ravasi gives here an exegetical reading, followed by some meditations that weave together biblical, literary and artistic references, thus offering Jesus’ last will and testament anew in all its human and theological shades.

        The Journey of the Three Wise Men

        by John of Hildesheim

        Written in the second half of the 14th century, this book by John of Hildesheim is an outstanding document of Medieval literature and historiography. The text is accompanied by some of the most wonderful illustrations taken from the great artistic tradition dating from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance and it shows the inspiration that John of Hildesheim has given to the whole Christian iconography of Christmas and to some of the most outstanding works of art. “The remarkable iconography accompanying this volume, with forty-three different representations of the story of the three wise men (from Gentile da Fabriano to Lippi, from Giotto to Botticelli, from Benozzo Gozzoli to Piero della Francesca), is an evidence of the appeal of a story in which history, devotion, theology are closely intertwined, starting from the very journey of those three figures as the symbolic guiding thread of the Gospel narration.” (Card. Gianfranco Ravasi)
