Rather than a theory, this method is based on case studies of contemporary buildings (1995-2015), which are often criticized for lacking theological depth. In a threefold method, the author brings to light the ways in which architecture can be theology – or theotopy – by focusing on topoi (places) rather than logoi (words). Churches reveal our relationship with God by engaging our body, mind, and community. This method proves relevant not only for the way we perceive these buildings, but also for the way we use them, especially in our prophetic engagement for a better world.Studies in religion and the arts ;Volume 9.Church architectureSymbolism in architectureTheologyElectronic books.Church architecture.Symbolism in architecture.Theology.246/.9Daelemans Bert956108Brown DavidDebuyst Dom FrédéricMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459804503321Spiritus loci2164315UNINA
