Description
Summary:This essay, written for professional biblical scholars and graduate students being trained in biblical studies, introduces the reader to the interdisciplinary study of space and its related concepts, including land, place, and territory. It offers a synopsis of eight important approaches to the study of space: sacred, legal, political, economic, ecological, visual, social, and urban. It highlights some of the work being done by biblical scholars in conversation with spatial studies. And it reads the biblical story of Naboth’s vineyard, 1 Kgs 21:1–16, in light of the legal approach to space.
