Summary:The book's final part includes essays by some leading scholars that have focused on the most widely acclaimed Western architects of Christian architecture. While it succeeds in demonstrating that ecclesiastical architecture was more central to the modern movement than generally accepted, most of the essays remain rather inward looking, both with respect to the place of religion in modernity and by remaining Western-centric in its scope. This review was commissioned alongside the one authored by Nikolaos Magouliotis. Both reviews should be read together for a comprehensive account of this volume set.
