In this richly detailed and absorbing book, Nicholas Shrady travels to six famous pilgrimage sites, investigating not only the phenomenon of pilgrimage itself but also the enduring vitality of the spiritual quest. From Santiago de Compostela to Varanasi, Medjugorje to the Tomb of Rami, Jerusalem to the Sacred Buddhist Trail of India and Nepal, the author explores the architectural, cultural and religious nature of each site, and by extension uncovers the common threads between them. Maintainingan open, but always critical and questioning attitude towards all forms of faith, SACRED ROADS combines exciting anecdote and adventure with a unique window onto the current state of the world's great religions.
