Sommario/riassunto

Employing a comparative theological and phenomenological analysis, this book reveals the deeper religio-cultural and theological import of



pilgrimage practice in the identity formation and interaction among Muslims and Catholics in south central Java. In a wider context, it also sheds light on the larger dynamics of the complex encounter between Islam, Christianity and local cultures.
