Robert Louis Wilken examines the profound transformation of Palestine into a sacred landscape within the Christian imagination from the late antique period through the Middle Ages. By tracing the evolution of pilgrimage, liturgy, and local church history, the author illustrates how the physical geography of the region became inextricably linked to the development of Christian identity and theological reflection.
