Synopsis
Excerpt from Church Building
The fact that a new printing of this volume is necessary would be evidence in a way that interest has not flagged during the last decade, either in churches or their construction, if evi dence were needed. Nothing of the kind is necessary, how ever, for the fact is patent to every one that concrete religion means more in the world to-day than it has meant for many generations, and that the interest in church building has ex tended far beyond the architectural profession and has now come to include, in a very special and unusual way, clergy and laity alike. Nor is this interest either technical or archaeologi cal: it is not even wholly aesthetic; it is rather a showing forth of a deeper consciousness of the eternal and indispensable na ture of the Christian religion itself, of the part it must play in the building up of a new civilization, and of the fact that if it is to do this, it must be, in a measure at least, through the agency of a sane and beautiful art.

Church Building: A Study of the Principles of Architecture in Their Relation
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the art of church building, exploring the principles of architecture as they relate to the creation of sacred spaces. The author examines the history of church architecture, focusing specifically on the unique development of this art form in England. He draws comparisons between the grandeur of cathedrals and the intimate beauty of village churches, arguing that the latter are often more profoundly expressive of the faith they embody. The author critiques the trends in church construction that have emerged in America, arguing that the pursuit of trendy styles over enduring principles has led to a decline in the quality and meaningfulness of church architecture. He asserts that a return to the core values of simplicity, durability, and reverence is essential to restoring the true spirit of church building. This book offers a powerful and thought-provoking perspective on the vital role that architecture plays in shaping our spiritual experience. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
