Sharing Sacred Spaces in the Mediterranean: Christians, Muslims, and Jews at Shrines and Sanctuaries

Buch

While devotional practices are usually viewed as mechanisms forreinforcing religious boundaries, in the multicultural, multiconfessional world ofthe Eastern Mediterranean, shared shrines sustain intercommunal and interreligiouscontact among groups. Heterodox, marginal, and largely ignored by centralauthorities, these practices persist despite aggressive, homogenizing nationalistmovements. This volume challenges much of the received wisdom concerning the threemajor monotheistic religions and the clash of civilizations. Contributors examineintertwined religious traditions along the shores of the Near East from North Africato the Balkans.
