- Abstract :
- Investigates the Magic Kingdom in Disney World (Orlando). Addresses the connections between Disney World and biblical, literary, artistic, landscaping, urban planning, and visionary constructs of Paradise within a broad framework. Contends that these connections are not merely coincidence, but evidence of vital links to historical, spiritual, and pastoral traditions. Includes a brief comparison with Howard Finster's Paradise Garden outside of Summerville, Georgia. ;
