Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Building the House of God' is an authoritative guide to the design, planning, and construction of ecclesiastical structures, authored by Elbert M. Conover, a leading figure in early 20th-century church architecture. This work serves as both a practical manual and a theological reflection on the importance of the physical sanctuary in the life of a religious community. Conover bridges the gap between spiritual aspirations and structural realities, offering detailed advice on how to create a space that is both functional for a modern congregation and evocative of divine presence.The book delves into the various stages of the building process, from site selection and architectural collaboration to the symbolic significance of interior layout and liturgical art. By emphasizing that the church building should be a physical manifestation of faith, Conover provides a roadmap for committees and clergy to navigate the complexities of construction while maintaining a focus on aesthetic dignity and spiritual utility.

Conover (1885-1952) a minister whose influence on the design of Protestant churches brought him some regard, was born in Harrisonville, NJ, to Samuel S. and Atlantic (Moore) Conover. He attended Dickinson Preparatory School in Carlisle, PA, and then graduated from Dickinson College in 1904 and from Drew University Theological Seminary in 1913. After a few assignments as pastor in Methodist Episcopal churches in New Jersey, Conover turned to administrative work. From 1919 to 1920 he served as assistant secretary of the M. E. department devoted to war emergency and reconstruction work, becoming executive secretary of that body in 1920 through 1924. By 1923 he appears in the Philadelphia city directories as the assistant to the superintendant of the Board of Home Missions for the Methodist Episcopal Church, but by 1925 in the directories he has become the Director of the Bureau of Architecture for the M. E. Church and would remain in that position through 1934 when the Board became the Interdenominational Bureau of Architecture. He then remained as director for the new bureau. In 1926 and 1932 Conover travelled to Europe to study architecture. First Edition. Signed by Author. RAREA1928ABDB - 10/19 FORN-TUB-0079-BB-2505-HKREV881. Signed by Author(s).
