Sacred Power, Sacred Space

An Introduction to Christian Architecture and Worship

Beschreibung

Church buildings have played significant roles in the formation and ongoing development of Christianity. Neither mere witnesses to transformations of religious thought or nor simple backgrounds for religious practice, Kilde identifies church buildings as dynamic participants in religious change and as goldmines of information on Christianity itself.
