Synopsis
Excerpt from An Apology for the Revival of Christian Architecture in England
Amid this motley group (oh! Miserable degradation!) the venerable form and sacred detail of our national and Catholic architecture may be discerned; but how adopted? Not on consistent principle, not on authority, not as the expression of our faith, our government, or country, but as one of the disguises of the day, to be put on and off at pleasure, and used occasionally as circumstances or private caprice may suggest.

An Apology for the Revival of Christian Architecture in England
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book makes a compelling case for a revival of Christian architecture, positioning it as the only appropriate expression of the faith, wants, and climate of England. The author argues that this style was not developed until several centuries after the crucifixion, gradually evolving through various phases in the Early Christian and Medieval periods, reaching its peak in the Gothic style. The work delves into the various reasons for the decline of Christian architecture, particularly the influence of paganism, that hindered the full expression of the faith in architectural design. This book laments the missed opportunities and failures of recent architectural projects, arguing that inconsistency of design has resulted in a failure to produce buildings that reflect their purpose or embody the spirit of their era. The author offers a detailed analysis of various types of buildings, including churches, railways, schools, and commercial structures, highlighting the problems with their design and suggesting how they could have been improved by adhering to Christian architectural principles. This book presents a powerful argument for the revival of Christian architecture as the only true expression of the faith and culture of England.
