First edition. x, [2], 390pp. This is volume 1 of the publisher's 'Jewish and Christian Perspectives' series. In both Judaism and Christianity time and space can take on a sacred nature accompanied by a permanent citical attitude towards the sacred. Conceptions of sacredness imply a conception of community and of society at large. This study investigates different attitudes toward sacredtime and space from an interdisciplinary perspective, ranging from the Biblical period through Qumran, PAtristics, Rabbinics, archaeology andtheology to modern and even to post-modern rituals. The approach offers a fascinating insightinto both the commonheritage of Judaism and Christianity and their mutual differences. The book is in near fine condition and is tight and clean inside with no inscription. The dustwrapper is also near fine with light bumping to the top of the spine and the spine is slightly faded. The flaps have not been clipped.
