Location coda: the sensory imperative (reprise) -- Appendix: Guide to materializing the Bible attractions. "From miniatures and monuments to Bible theme parks and attractions, this book explores how and why scriptural text is materialized in various forms and turned into physical, experiential, and choreographed environments. Drawing on archival and ethnographic data, case studies from the Unites States are contextualized globally, with significant references to cases in Israel, Brazil, Canada, Italy, U.K., Philippines, and Germany. Bielo shows that the sensory imperative of religion demands that faith must be experienced, not simply known cognitively or performed discursively. He argues that materializing the Bible generates intimacy with scripture, that can be experienced in multiple sensory configurations - just as the Bible is interpretively open it is also experientially open. Divided into three parts, the book has 20 short essays that can be read in any order, each with one or two case studies. Denominations explored include Protestants, Catholics, Mormons, and Jewish communities. An appendix provides a guide to the Biblio attractions mentioned, and additional images and videos can be found at www.materializingthebible.com."-- |
