Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an insightful work on church designs. The writer presents a fresh perspective on the subject by shedding light on the odd and absurd side of church art. Excerpt "The designs of which this book treats have vast fields outside the English church works to which it has been thought good to limit it. Books and buildings undoubtedly mutually interchanged some forms of their ornaments, yet the temple was the earlier repository of man's ideas expressed in art, and the proper home of the religious symbolism which forms so large a proportion of my subject."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Arts of the Church: Symbolism of the Saints Astudy of symbolism is essential for the understanding of almost all branches of ecclesiastical art, painting, sculpture in stone or wood, and the archi tecture of various ages. It is shown on the walls of churches, fonts, screens, miseri cords, carvings, pictures by great'mediaeval artists, and enters largely into the sacred art of all countries. It has, therefore, been deemed advisable to include the subject of Iconography in this series of the Arts of the Church. The writer has endeavoured to record the symbols of those saints whose figures appear most frequently in churches and in works of Sacred Art, and to give such brief accounts of their lives and legends as may account for the selection of their symbols. The very limited space at his disposal has, of course, prevented any full treatment of the subject but the reader will probably find this book, especially the indexes, sufficient to enable lhim to recognize the identity of the figures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expanding on issues touched on in The Da Vinci Code, this thought-provoking study explores the real story of Christianity—a story told by men and women condemned by the traditional, orthodox church, and one long hidden in mysterious codes and symbols. In medieval times, dissenters believed the established church ruthlessly suppressed the truth about Jesus and his ministry. Branded as heretics and subject to torture and execution for their beliefs, the dissenters—including the Knights Templar, Freemasons, Cathars, and groups of scientists—devised an ingenious code to communicate with fellow sympathizers and preserve the truth. They concealed these complex symbols in art, artifacts, and architecture of the medieval world. Finally, this fascinating underground language is deciphered…revealing powerful messages meant as much for today’s truth seekers as for medieval minds.
