- Synopsis
- This is a collectionof papers given at SBL International Meetings 2009-2011, which investigate theinherent spatiality of human existence. The contributors discuss ancientMediterranean texts and societies from a decidedly spatial perspective,debating over such issues as narratological space, critical spatiality,sociological theories on space, space and identity, space and body. The volumeconsists of three parts and commences with three studies focusing ontheoretical approaches towards spatial analysis and application of the theoryto specific Old and New Testament texts. The essays in the second part examinethe sacred space and the formation of identity, with particular attention toJerusalem and the temple seen as sacred space and the lived experience of authors describing this space in variousways. The third part discusses the spatial theory and its application to avariety of texts ranging from the Epic of Gilgamesh to the New Testament.
