The Door to the Sanctuary in Late Antiquity offers a far-reaching account of boundaries within pagan and Christian sanctuaries: gateways in a precinct, outer doors of a temple or church, inner doors of a cella . The study of these liminal spaces within Late Antiquity ? itself a key period of transition during the spread of Christianity, when cultural paradigms were redefined ? demands an approach that is both interdisciplinary and diachronic. Emilie van Opstall brings together both upcoming and noted scholars of Greek and Latin literature and epigraphy, archaeology, art history, philosophy, and religion to discuss the experience of those who crossed from the worldly to the divine, both physically and symbolically. What did this passage from the profane to the sacred mean to them, on a sensory, emotive and intellectual level? Who was excluded, and who was admitted? The articles each offer a unique perspective on pagan and Christian sanctuary doors in the Late Antique Mediterranean. 410 0$aReligions in the Graeco-Roman World$v185. 606 $aDoors$xReligious aspects 606 $aSenses and sensation in architecture 606 $aArchitecture and religion$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aBoundaries$xMiscellanea 615 0$aDoors$xReligious aspects. 615 0$aSenses and sensation in architecture. 615 0$aArchitecture and religion$xHistory 615 0$aBoundaries$xMiscellanea. 676 $a203.7 701 $aOpstall$b Emilie Marle?ne van$01564004 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796979603321 996 $aSacred thresholds$93832815 997 $aUNINA
