The aim is to identify how the image of the city helps to construct meaning inside the biblical material. In order to carry out this task relevant textual narratives are analysed and then read from the viewpoint of space, place and urban studies. This latter category includes the works of Lefebvre, Bachelard, Soja, Massey, Amin and Thrift and Pile, among others. A major finding is that urban imagination is a tool by which the texts manage the experience of political and social events in a time of radical change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eMary Mills is Professor of Biblical Studies at Liverpool Hope University UK.
