It argues that the relationship between public policies and spiritual practices is not as clear-cut as some might think. In fact, the authors show that religious activity has always combined care for the past with conscious practices of heritage-making, which they term \"the religious heritage complex.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book considers the ways patrimony, religion, and identity interact in different Christian contexts worldwide and how religious objects and sites function as identity symbols. It focuses on heritage-making as a religious and material activity for the groups in charge of a sacred inheritance and considers heritage activities as one of the forms of spiritual renewal and transmission. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCase studies explore various Christian traditions located in Europe, the Americas, and Africa, investigating the longstanding and tightly-enmeshed connections that weave together religion and cultural heritage. Through comparing ecclesiastical and civil heritage institutions, this book allows us to consider the ambiguity of religious heritage.","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51159123951839,"sku":"9781350266940","price":77.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/aa9dSGuOD69781350266940.webp?v=1786337524","url":"https:\/\/blackandbarhe.com\/products\/the-religious-heritage-complex-legacy-conservation-and-christianity-paperback","provider":"Black \u0026 Barhe Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
