Summary:

Welchen Einfluss hatte der städtische Raum auf das Gebet und damit verbundenes religiöses Denken und Glauben in den antiken Religionen vom 1. bis zum 6. Jahrhundert n. Chr.? Dieser Band versucht, den bisher üblichen Fokus auf die Formen und die Semantik des Gebets durch ein stadträumliches Modell zu ersetzen, das Gebete als Performanzen versteht, die in den städtischen Raum eingebettet und verkörpert sind, sowie als Texte, die Raumvorstellungen produzieren und von diesen inspiriert sind.
