Výklad posvätnej symboliky výzdoby sakrálnych stavieb a prehľad architektonických slohov. Odkrýva symboly, do ktorých sú v kostoloch a katedrálach zakódované najrôznejšie aspekty viery. Kniha predstavuje niektoré zo svetoznámych stavieb, napríklad Notre- Dame v Paríži, Baziliku sv. Petra v Ríme, katedrálu sv. Pavla v Londýne a chrám Sagrada Família v Barcelone.

I found few "secrets" that any person with a passing interest wouldn't know but the photos are glorious. The print is miniscule throughout the book so be prepared to bring a magnifying glass when reading it. I did like the helpful numbered items explaining who statues represented and the vocabulary, Hatchment and Southwold Jack for example. Symbolism of the saints and biblical figures (Moses holds tablets, Abraham holds a lamb) are interesting too, but not really a secret. The glossary, index and chronology in the back are interesting and there are references for further reading.. This book is definitely worth a look and though small, would be a nice coffee table book for anyone interested in architecture, Christianity, or churches.… (plus d'informations)

This book is a beautiful book, not only for the coffee table, but also for ones review. It points back to an era when symbolism in architecture was more common, where the physical attributes reflect the inner person. This is a walk through the rich world of body and soul, showing great works of human achievement attained because of intense spirituality.
