This book is amazingly well done. It is remarkably error-free, especially given the breadth of religious positions represented by the various faith groups in Manhattan. Dunlap understands religion and religious beliefs, and he understands architecture as well. I have been hoping (perhaps praying?) for such a book for years and to have my wish fulfilled -- and not have to do it myself -- has been joyous. I've only had it two weeks but I've already passed it around to others who are equally impressed. If the subject interests you at all, buy this book!

Excellent compendium of houses of worship both past and present in the New York City area. This is not an exhaustive architectural treatise; however, as an historical record it is worth having.

This volume s an excellent resource for our archives and library at the Brick Presbytrian Church in the City of New York
