The Constructions of Ancient Space Seminar ran as a joint project
of the AAR and SBL from 2000-2005, the only cross-society venture
of its time. For the first time in the development of biblical
studies, participants in the seminar attempted to foreground and
critically analyze space with the same theoretical nuance that
biblical scholars have traditionally devoted to history. This
volume, first, collects five papers focused on biblical cities, and
especially Jerusalem. The female personification of Zion allows
for, among other things, a specifically feminist slant on
spatiality theory. Whereas these essays begin with cities as
material realities, the second part of the volume offers two essays
that begin with the imagined spaces of apocalyptic literature,
though these two are shown to have deep connection to actual lived
space. The final essay moves outside the biblical canon to examine
real and imagined space in Pure Land Buddhism.
