church building
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.
