Physical and Symbolic Geography: Constructions of Space and Early Christian Identities
A link with a homeland, whether physical or symbolic, is often seen as characteristic of ethnic groups, and a contrast is therefore commonly drawn between Jewish ethnic particularism, tied to a particular land, and Christian universalism, that has no such territorial connections.
