Book excerpt: This book explores individual and community involvement in the approbation, reconfiguration and regulation of early modern sacred spaces and the behavior (both animal and human) within them.

Essays give voice to the arguments and accusations that surrounded the activities taking place in sacred space and reveal much about how people made sense of these transformations.
