Seeks to re-read the modern issues of movement, location, identity and God from the insights of texts on tourism, travel and exile. This book aims to show that both tourist and traveller represent modernist theological positions, sure of what they can and will experience, and sure of the sense of gaining a new identity out of movement.
Contemporary tourism and travel have become a form of religion, a new opiate of the masses. However, could Church and theology be religious forms of tourism and travel? ''Bibles and Baedekers'' offers a theology of tourism and exile for a modern and postmodern world. It examines the ways in which location, identity and movement have made use of religious texts and metaphor and questions the relative absence of secular texts and ideas in theology. The theology of the tourist and traveller is one of new experiences, the acquisition of identity through movement. ''Bibles and Baedekers'' uniquely applies this to the postmodern Christian, embodying the fulfilment of Bonhoeffer''s ''religionless Christianity'', dislocated from both a secular and ''religious'' world.
