Sanctuary at Durham Cathedral

The Bureaucratisation of Grace: A Foucauldian Analysis of Sanctuary at Durham Cathedral considers how a sacred protection was recorded, administered, and shaped by institutional power.

The study brings Michel Foucault’s ideas into conversation with the religious and legal history of Durham.
