From the Back Cover

A Hopeful Christian Vision of Placemaking"A unique book. It takes the deeply biblical identification with place and maps it onto our homogenized world to see what possibilities we have for new depth, new beauty, new meaning. I found it unrelentingly fascinating."--Bill McKibben, author, Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet"Drawing on scholarship in biblical studies, theology, philosophy, and cultural studies, Bartholomew advances distinctly Christian thinking about place in a significant way."--Norman Wirzba, Duke Divinity School"A stunning achievement. The book masterfully surveys the role of place in the Bible, helpfully looks at the role place has played in the Western philosophical tradition, and concludes with satisfying advice, both theoretical and practical, as to how contemporary Christians should think about place as they engage in the crucial work of placemaking."--C. Stephen Evans, Baylor University"Ever since Walter Brueggemann's groundbreaking study The Land in 1977 we have been waiting for a comprehensive Christian theology of place. Where Mortals Dwell represents a significant step in that direction."--Eric O. Jacobsen, senior pastor, First Presbyterian Church, Tacoma, Washington; author, Sidewalks in the Kingdom"This is a major work of theological rediscovery in which Bartholomew imaginatively reconstructs a Christian view of human implacement. An erudite, readable, original, and fascinating invitation to a theology and spirituality of place."--Gordon McConville, University of Gloucestershire"This study in theology that builds from a biblical base and moves to discussions of urban planning, biotic community, and pilgrimage--and even includes maps--may well be unprecedented."--Ellen F. Davis, Duke Divinity School"The entire teaching of the Bible about place is represented here in one fascinating overview followed by an intriguing confrontation with Western philosophical thought on matters of place. A brilliant survey of the liberating Christian concept of placemaking."--Bob Goudzwaard, Free University of Amsterdam"This book will be an important interdisciplinary resource wherever academic consideration is given to the art of human dwelling or implacement. It is set to become the standard work in this emerging field."--Peter Manley Scott, Lincoln Theological Institute, University of Manchester, UK

One of the projects I have been seriously considering is to write an accessible "theology of place." It is one of those obviously needed missing pieces in the rediscovery of the Gospel here at the close of Modernity, equally needed in the broader missional conversation.What is the relationship of "place" to God's work of redemption in the world? Note that last phrase. It is not possible to talk of salvation without talking about redemption in the world, and a man named Jesus who was born in Bethlehem, lost on the edge of the Roman Empire, roughly two thousand years ago. It is not possible to talk of salvation apart from life in the real world.Nor was it possible to write a rich and biblical theology of place while Modernity formed the foundation of western Christian thought. Modernity pushed us toward abstractions. Moreover, a heritage that favored Greek thought left us with hints of gnosticism, a tendency to divorce spirituality from life in this world. Even though "the Word became flesh," in practice we have favored ascension as a theme, and Christology over the Incarnational life, neglecting the reality of the Spirit intimately involved in the work of redemption here and now.Canadian theologian Craig Bartholomew had made a timely and powerful contribution to a theological gap, with his book titled "Where Mortals Dwell: A Christian View of Place for Today" (Baker Academic, 2011). At 372 pages, including the subject index, hardly a page is wasted. The work is comprehensive and rich.Bartholomew is interested in "place" and the role it plays in God's work in the world. He offers a few principles to aid us: First, "[place] is a human concept," and "to be human is to be placed." Second, "place results from the dynamic interactions of humans and their particular location." Third, "although space and place are inseparable, place must be distinguished from space." These principles form the foundation of the book.The book is divided into three sections. Part I surveys the role of place in the Bible. I confess I skimmed this section, interested in getting on to Part II. But I was stopped cold on page 99 where the section heading reads thus: "Kingdom: Reign or Realm?" A discussion of the work of G.E. Ladd follows. This brief discussion continues to page 101, then leads into a survey of "place" in the Gospels. Bartholomew raises critical questions that can help all bible teachers more carefully nuance a theology of the kingdom. It is both wise and biblical to frame the kingdom as both creative rule and created realm (237).Part II considers the role place has played in the Western philosophical and Christian traditions. I skimmed pages 167-188, and then read carefully to the close of this section on page 242. This was an outstanding survey of the Church Fathers on "place." I was particularly interested in the work of Irenaeus here, since Irenaeus is less captive to Greek thought, and his Spirit-Christology holds rich promise for theological reflection in our time. Likewise Bonhoeffer in the Lutheran tradition, and Tillich with his existential concerns may be rich sources for reflection. Contemporary theologies of place consider both Santmire (writing twenty-thirty years ago) and

Craig Bartholomew is an incredibly transdisciplinary scholar with a unique command of exegetical skill, theological breadth, and philosophical sophistication which he masterfully integrates in this work, modeling an approach to Scripture that seeks to hear God's voice through his Word.
