Zusammenfassung:In the 1950s and 1960s, thousands of churches were built across Europe in an attempt to keep up with the continent's rapid urbanisation. This book addresses the immense effort related to the planning, financing, and construction of this new religious infrastructure. Going beyond aspects of style and liturgy, and transcending a focus on particular architects or regions, this volume considers church building at the crossroads of pastoral theology, religious sociology, and urban planning. Presenting the rich palette of strategies and methods deployed by congregations, dioceses, government bodies, and private patrons in their attempt to secure a religious presence in the rapidly modernising world, 'Territories of Faith' offers a broad view of the practice of religion and its material expression in the fast-evolving (sub)urban landscapes of post-war Europe.
Beschreibung:"It started with the international seminar 'Territories of Faith: Religion, Demographic Change and Urban Planning in Europe, 1945-1975' on 2-3 July 2017 (...) at KU Leuven. (...) we committed ourselves to producing a book based on the various papers that had been presented and thoroughly discussed at the seminar" (preface)
