Early Modern Religious Space Across Faiths and Cultures

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This volume explores the conceptualisation and construction of sacred space in a wide variety of faith traditions: Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and the religions of Japan. Through the prism of layering, it demonstrates that vital questions about the location of the sacred and its reificaiton in the landscape were posed by religious believers across the early-modern world.
