The use of domestic spaces by these early groups is widely accepted, but the spaces themselves are usually understood as having been neutral, rather than sacred. In this study, I propose not only that these domestic spaces were considered sacred space by the Christian communities that used them, but that they were also complex ritual loci in their own right. Mapping what is known from early Christian texts onto the archaeological data for Roman domestic space here provides a new lens through which to examine the relationship between early Christians and their meeting space. In many cases, this meeting space would have included the presence of the Roman domestic cult. Despite the fact that the domestic cult was a polytheistic one, at odds with monotheistic Christianity, I assert that its practices likely continued in those places used for worship by the Christians. I also argue that continued practice of the domestic cult in Roman domestic spaces did not preclude the house-church Christians from understanding their rituals or their meeting places as sacred. Theories of sacred space and ritual practice are engaged to demonstrate that the house-church Christians constructed temporary sacred space through ritual enactment. The exploration of meeting places as both inhabited and sacred space raises a host of questions about early Christian identity, ritual affiliation, and domestic practice."-- |cProvided by publihser. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 House churches|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85062540|zRome.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79039816-781 650 0 Sacred space|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh88002572|zRome.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79039816-781 650 0 Domestic space|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh2006006911|zRome.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79039816-781 650 0 Christianity|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85025219|zRome.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79039816-781 650 0 Rites and ceremonies|zRome.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2010111080 650 7 Religion.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1093763 651 0 Rome|xReligion.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh96009771 651 7 Rome (Empire)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204885 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aCianca, Jenn, 1978-|tSacred ritual, profane space.|dMontreal ; Kingston ; London ; Chicago : McGill-Queen's University Press, [2018]|z0773553320 |z9780773553323|w(CaOONL)20189000759|w(DLC) 2018411076 |w(OCoLC)1013513334 830 0 Studies in Christianity and Judaism ;|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n42004106|v1. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1813165|zOnline eBook via EBSCO.
