Nature is as much an idea as a physical reality. By 'placing'
nature within Byzantine culture and within the discourse of
Orthodox Christian thought and practice, Landscape, Nature and the
Sacred in Byzantium explores attitudes towards creation that are
utterly and fascinatingly different from the modern. Drawing on
Patristic writing and on Byzantine literature and art, the book
develops a fresh conceptual framework for approaching Byzantine
perceptions of space and the environment. It takes readers on an
imaginary flight over the Earth and its varied topographies of
gardens and wilderness, mountains and caves, rivers and seas, and
invites them to shift from the linear time of history to the
cyclical time and spaces of the sacred - the time and spaces of
eternal returns and revelations.
