From the early Spanish missions through antebellum, Victorian, early twentieth century, and modern buildings, Reflections of Faith presents a rich treasury of social, religious, and architectural history. This examination of religious architecture seeks to interpret the social and theological conditions that contribute to the numerous design variations found throughout the state, and provides us with a sense of the society and culture in which architecture takes form. As symbols reinforcing theological dogmas, these houses of worship, including some for nearly every denomination found in Texas, reflect the increasing complexity of theology and society.
