Constructions of Space V: Place, Space and Identity in the Ancient Mediterranean World: 576

“To my mind, the most important contribution of this book is the dialogue, never fully explicit, among its authors on the ways in which consideration of space and place might enhance our understanding of the Hebrew Bible, the world in which it originated, and the worlds to which it gave rise… The authors of this volume have…helped advance the conversation.” –Mark W. Hamilton, Abilene Christian University, Reviews in Religion and Theology

“The publication gives an overview of the possibilities and the recent progress of critical spatiality. It indicates how disparate disciplines and fields can be combined in a spatial examination. It succeeds in proving that critical spatiality has become part of the exegetical enterprise. It is highly recommended for scholars to keep track of the development of spatial analysis.” –Peter M. Venter, University of Pretoria, South Africa, Journal of Theological Studies (Vol. 64.2)
