Description

This comprehensive study examines how the proclamation of Holy Scriptures functions as an enacted celebration and performance within sacralized theatrical spaces across Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Scripture reading from appointed places represents a sacred act central to religious life in these three major traditions, yet this vital area of worship remains underexplored in academic scholarship. The book provides an illuminating overview of scripture reading practices and rituals, revealing how the spatial and ceremonial dimensions of textual proclamation shape religious experience and meaning. By studying the conduct of these readings, the work uncovers important aspects of this widespread act of worship that bridges theology, anthropology, and performance studies. Published by Routledge as part of the New Critical Thinking in Religion, Theology and Biblical Studies series, this volume contributes essential insights into how sacred texts are experienced, performed, and venerated within religious communities.
