Architecture of the Sacred: Space, Ritual, and Experience from Classical Greece to Byzantium

This book explores the way space, place, architecture, memory and ritual interact to construct sacred experience in ancient Greek, Roman, Jewish, early Christian and Byzantine cultures. The book demonstrates that architecture and its setting actively participated in the ritual process. Architecture did not merely host events; rather, it magnified and elevated them.
