Modern Architecture and Religious Communities, 1850–1970: Building the Kingdom (Routledge Studies in Religion, Architecture and Visual Culture)

By Ayla Lepine

Modern architecture has brought significant changes to the way religious groups use spaces. This is the first essay collection to present a thematically driven approach to sacred buildings and the communities who build and inhabit them. Case studies include a Catalonian monastery, a Gothic church in Oxford, a chapel in the American Midwest and a synagogue in Jerusalem. The volume will be of interest to architectural historians and historians of religion who study nineteenth- and twentieth-century cultures worldwide.
