Summary
An international group of archaeologists, art historians, and New Testament scholars investigate the function of spaces in Roman houses and temples in Pompeii, Herculaneum, Corinth, Rome, Ostia, Ephesus, and Judea. Their concern is more fully to understand the relationship between different architectural forms, Roman domus, villas, and insulae, in relation to Paul's letters and the gospels.
