PLACE AND IDENTITY IN THE LIVES OF ANTONY, PAUL, AND MARY OF Desert EGYPT as Borderland
Religion and Spatial Studies Series Editor Eric C. Smith Iliff School of Theology Denver, CO, USA
The critical study and analysis of space examines a wide range of spatial questions, including how religions and religious practitioners build, arrange, and live within physical space; how they conceive and logically organize, classify, and design space; and the complex socioreligious meanings and significations ascribed to space by those who use and occupy it, including meanings that often become the basis for contestation and conflict. This series also analyzes how religion stands alongside various disciplines as opposed to being subsumed by them. More information about this series at http://www.palgrave.com/gp/series/14510
