The Blog of the Provost of St Mary's Cathedral, Glasgow
This is an attractive and lavishly illustrated handbook which deals with the Bible on a book by book basis. For each biblical book, there is a description of its origins and significance, the retelling of the main stories, background, history and theological themes. Religious art is used to the full. Taking the journey from Genesis to Revelation, the multi-denominational team of authors include people from both Judaism and Christianity.
Highly recommended.
Richard Giles’s book is a modern, best-selling handbook on the design and use of church buildings. The prose is at once funny, profound and opinionated. Paradoxically, this is liturgical space management from someone who would affirm the primacy of the whole people of God and yet also is a Priest Who Knows Best. Excellent illustrations make this a book to be thumbed through and mulled over as much as a book to read from cover to cover. It transforms the ways in which Church buildings can be viewed and enables readers to see them afresh as a vital part of church mission strategy. This is an inspirational and creative book written by one of the world’s leading experts on liturgical space.
