Christian Travelers Guide To Italy

The Christian Travelers Guide series describes and interprets the religious significance of places, people, and events in various countries of the world from a Christian perspective. While secular travel guides tend to neglect or play down the importance of our Christian heritage, this new series brings history alive by concentrating on spiritual and theological issues that have shaped our world. Designed to be used alone or in conjunction with secular guides, they are an invaluable resource for the Christian traveler and anyone interested in the deeper meaning of religion and culture in society. Each guide is organized alphabetically according to the names of cities and sites and is written to help you deepen your faith by bringing the struggles and triumphs of great Christian leaders and common believers alive through the living witness of places where saints once walked.
