This interdisciplinary collection is a new landmark in the interest in the study of the world's pilgrimage traditions. Experts approach the subject of pilgrimage from a theory perspective and as an historical phenomenon, citing case studies which represent most of the world's major religious traditions. Morinis' collection presents a many-faceted examination of sacred journeys in India, Southeast Asia, the Pacific, West Asia, Africa, North America, and the Caribbean. Pilgrimage is viewed in relation to methodological issues and an analysis is offered showing how pilgrimage and tourism are related.
