Mary Farag | What Makes a Church Sacred?
Manage episode 358147389 series 2814541
In the wake of the Jesus Movement’s emergence from the underground, designated worship spaces like churches began to be seen as sacred spaces in and of themselves. How did this happen? According to Mary K. Farag, it was the result of centuries of debate between ancient Roman jurists, Catholic bishops, artists, and theologians. Farag is Assistant Professor of Early Christian Studies at Princeton Theological Seminary, and her research focuses on Christian liturgical practices in late antiquity and their role in the wider Greco-Roman, Byzantine, and Islamic worlds. In this episode Farag shares from her book “What Makes a Church Sacred?: Legal and Ritual Perspectives from Late Antiquity.”
