section Summary
 
 
Personal space is a very ‘touchy’ area for most people and Christians are all the more affected by its presence because God first stated it. In the book of Genesis, God says clearly, “‘you must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die'" (Genesis, New International Version). Touch is regarded very highly with God and with persons.
There is a very dynamic interaction between personal space and expectancy, as explained by Judee Burgoon in the text.
