Church Monastery Cathedral
A Guide to the Symbolism of the Christian Tradition
Herbert Whone
The author presents in alphabetical order a description of all major architectural features found in religious building, giving the idea and intent behind their design and investigating the etymology of their names. Besides this, he explores the symbolic representation of the major Principals found in the Old and New Testaments and illuminates some of the significant words in the Christian Liturgy.
The distinguishing theme of the book is the author's concern to relate the artistic forms in stone, glass and wood to the spiritual convictions and traditions which inspired them.
