Naming the Sacred

Religious Toponymy in History, Theology and Politics. Edited by Anna Mambelli and Valentina Marchetto. Foreword by Alon Goshen-Gottstein.

At what point is a place perceived as holy? And when does it become officially so in its definition? Inspired by the UNESCO debate and decisions made concerning holy places, the authors seek answers to these questions. "Naming the Sacred" is a diachronic excursus into the issues of perception and denomination of holy places.
