Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the concept of home as a reflection of heaven during the Christian centuries, this volume explores the traditional belief in divine presence within domestic spaces. It uniquely approaches the subject by examining historical doctrines through the lens of lived experiences rather than abstract speculation. The analysis delves into the realities of housing, investigating how believers interacted with their environments, the significance of relationships within these spaces, and the function of individual rooms.
