In this book, a distinguished team of authors explores the way
space, place, architecture, and ritual interact to construct sacred
experience in the historical cultures of the eastern Mediterranean.
Essays address fundamental issues and features that enable
buildings to perform as spiritually transformative spaces in
ancient Greek, Roman, Jewish, early Christian, and Byzantine
civilizations. Collectively they demonstrate the multiple ways in
which works of architecture and their settings were active agents
in the ritual process. Architecture did not merely host events;
rather, it magnified and elevated them, interacting with rituals
facilitating the construction of ceremony. This book examines
comparatively the ways in which ideas and situations generated by
the interaction of place, built environment, ritual action, and
memory contributed to the cultural formulation of the sacred
experience in different religious faiths.
