This book applies spatial theories from human and cultural geography to the archeological remains of Ancient Corinth in order to consider how sacred space could have been created. Building on Philip Sheldrake's theory, among others, the book defines sacred space as a place with significance. Arguing that significance is found in the group's spiritual history, their identity and the proper behaviours required to keep the group remaining a group. The book further argues that if any of these elements not recognized nor upheld, risks the group may become placeless.
