title = "Cleansing the sacred space: The Holy Land and its inhabitants in the pilgrimage narrative of Barsauma",
abstract = "This study addresses narrative strategies - narrative techniques and devices employed by the narrator in the service of his agenda - in the descriptions of Barsauma{\textquoteright}s pilgrimages to the Holy Land as expressions of negotiating a Christian identity in a late antique syriac-speaking milieu.¹ Unlike descriptions of pilgrimage as the crowning phase of Christian formation, Barsauma{\textquoteright}s Life portrays him coming to Palestine from the East as an already accomplished ascetic and mystic - with a claim to authority over the holy places.",
