“All chapters in this rich book are solidly and carefully crafted; interconnections between them appear clear and thought-provoking in spite of the volume’s wide range of approaches. … George and Pezzoli-Olgiati provide a rich, thought provoking and highly valuable contribution to the accelerating discourse on how space/place and religion interact in an excitingly complex way.” (Sigurd Bergmann, Theologische Literaturzeitung, Vol. 141 (10), 2016)

"Addressed both to practitioners and scholars, this highly unusual and significant book opens with a theoretical exploration of space as it is interrelated to religion in generating meaning in human life. It then explores examples of meaning's emergence from these reciprocal interactions. Finally, it interrogates these phenomena through interdisciplinary essays from astrophysics, religious studies, architecture, philosophy, urban planning, psychology, art history, and hermeneutics. Here unity of thought is refracted through multiple perspectives to yield a work of high achievement and lasting value." - George Hoover, FAIA, Architect, Professor Emeritus, Architecture, University of Colorado, USA
