In light of more recent conversations about religion and its import as a factor in the global geopolitical and cultural spheres, augmented by the "contracting" of relationship among people and nations, Communication and the Global Landscape of Faith highlights geographical, architectural, and a partial issues as significant and edifying dimensions of the study of communication and religion. Insights are gleaned through the prism of the philosophical, built, performative, political, and intercultural landscapes.

This valuable and wide-ranging collection of essays will benefit both practitioners and scholars of religious communication. Practitioners will discover that the truths they seek, even those which are eternal and unchanging, must be communicated in infinitely variable physical and mental landscapes. Scholars will discover that religions are not simply manifestations of deeper social processes but generate supreme realities that profoundly structure believers' communication. Such understandings are vital in fostering the interfaith dialogues that are so needed in our world today.
