Founded originally for the exercise of religious practice, the New Haven Colony has evolved, thanks to the immigrants who have settled there, into a richly textured, multiethnic tapestry of
living worship traditions. Moreover, we now know that the urban plan of New Haven was laid out according to a biblical model as a holy metropolis. Temples in the Sacred City offers a tour of
local and regional synagogues and churches, along with the chapels at Yale. The book is designed to appeal to a broad audience of residents, newcomers, and visitors to the region, as well as to
students of religious studies and multicultural religious expression.
