Descrizione Scenting Salvation - Ancient Christianity and the Olfactory Imagination
Explores the role of bodily, sensory experience in early Christianity by focusing on the importance of smell in ancient Mediterranean culture. This book argues that ancient Christians used olfactory experience for purposes of a distinctive religious epistemology: formulating knowledge of the divine in order to yield a particular human identity.
