This book applies spatial theories from human and cultural geography to the archaeological remains of Ancient Corinth in order to consider how sacred places could have been created in the first century. Building on Philip Sheldrake's theory, among others, the book defines sacred place as a space with significance. Significance is found in the group’s spiritual history, their identity, and the proper behaviours required to keep the group remaining a group. The book further argues that if any of these elements of place are not recognized nor upheld, the group risks becoming placeless.
