Perceptions of the Body and Sacred Space in Late Antiquity and Byzantium

'[The book is] ... an enlightening journey through the early Christian Mediterranean mentalities in relation to how the connection between body and sacred space was seen and represented, and a well-documented and rich source for any scholar interested in this period - Ecaterina Lung, Hiperboreea, Volume 8, No. 1 (2021).

'Each of the eight contributors shows in a different way how art, design, and architectural space could help transform the human body into a vehicle of the divine. Icons and the spaces they occupied had a real presence facilitated by shimmering surfaces; they demanded that believers should move bodily through constricted or open spaces, and they rewarded the pious who gazed upwards with animated manifestations of the heavenly realm' - Time and Mind, Volume 12, Issue 3 (2019).
