"This book provides a comprehensive study on the proclamation of holy scriptures as
an enacted celebration, as well as its function as a performance within sacralized
theatrical spaces. Scripture is integral to religious life within Judaism, Christianity,
and Islam, and these traditions have venerated the reading of texts from an appointed
place as a sacred act. Thus, the study of how these readings are conducted illuminates
some vitally important aspects of this widespread act of worship. Contributing to
an under-explored area of scholarship, the book offers an overview of scripture reading
in the three Abrahamic faiths and then focuses on where and how the "Word of God"
is presented within the Christian tradition. It gathers and summarizes research on
the origins of a defined place for the proclamation of holy writings, giving a thorough
architectural analysis and interpretation of the various uses and symbols related
to these spaces over time. Finally, the listener is considered with a phenomenological
description of the place for reading and its hermeneutical interpretation. The material
in this book uncovers the contemporary impact of a rich history of publicly reading
out scriptures. It will, therefore, be of great interest to scholars of Liturgical
Theology, Religious Studies and Ritual Studies"
