Why does your church look as it does?,
By ldivagirl (Richmond, Virginia United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gothic Arches, Latin Crosses: Anti-Catholicism and American Church Designs in the Nineteenth Century (Paperback)
Have you ever wondered why certain ornamentation and symbols in your church are used? Any history of Christian religion will speak of the rejection of Catholic symbols by Protestants. But now it is common to have flowers, candles, crosses, ornate windows and other Catholic design elements in Protestant churches. A cross on the top of a spire at a church is almost expected now, yet this was not always the case. In fact these things were the subject of hot debate by church fathers in America. This book explores that transition and connects it to Catholic immigration and the Gothic Revival. While there is certainly fertile ground for further study, this work addresses these questions in an appropriate interdisciplinary way.
