Contributors mostly from religious fields, but also from architecture and art, explore the manifestation of Church as physical structure, space, and shape. Their topics include architecture as
lived metaphor, collaboration, faith, and compassion; trends in contemporary sacred architecture; the existential ambiguity of urban chapels; spatial design with glass; surfaces, signs, and
metamorphoses in Johannes Schreiter's windows in the Grunewald church; the emerging US experience of architecture for Christian worship; and an aesthetic and theological perspective on the
liturgy of architecture. There is no index. Annotation 穢2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
