Summary: Most of the time you can have churches to yourself to work out what you're looking at and give your imagination free rein. What they offer is more than a tale of popes and bishops, dogma and ritual. Collectively and individually they tell a human story about the how and the where and the why of the faith of the people who have used these buildings, and the ways in which that was reflected in the societies to be found beyond their walls. being places that have always opened their doors to (almost) everyone, they have a rare power to connect us in a tangible way, even in our secular and sceptical times, to the everyday flow of history. - Book cover.
