Studies and Sources

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book explores individual and community involvement in the approbation, reconfiguration and regulation of early modern sacred spaces and the behavior (both animal and human) within them. Based on new archival research, chapters examine diverse aspects of the campaigns to transform Christian behavior within a variety of types of sacred space and through a spectrum of media. Essays give voice to the arguments and accusations that surrounded the activities taking place in sacred space and reveal much about how people made sense of these transformations.
