Sinopsis
Excerpt from An Apology for the Revival of Christian Architecture in England
Amid this motley group (oh! Miserable degradation!) the venerable form and sacred detail of our national and Catholic architecture may be discerned; but how adopted? Not on consistent principle, not on authority, not as the expression of our faith, our government, or country, but as one of the disguises of the day, to be put on and off at pleasure, and used occasionally as circumstances or private caprice may suggest.

Excerpt from An Apology for the Revival of Christian Architecture in England
The age in which we live is a most eventful period for English art. We are just emerging from a state which may be termed the dark ages of architecture. After a gradual decay of four centuries, the style, - for style there was, - became so execrably bad, that the cup of degradation was filled to the brim; and as taste had fallen to its lowest depth, a favourable re-action commenced.
The breaking up of this wretched state of things has naturally produced a complete convulsion in the whole system of arts, and a Babel of confusion has succeeded to the one bad idea that generally prevailed.
Private judgment runs riot; every architect has a theory of his own, a beau ideal he has himself created; a disguise with which to invest the building he erects. This is generally the result of his latest travels.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book makes a compelling case for a revival of Christian architecture, positioning it as the only appropriate expression of the faith, wants, and climate of England. The author argues that this style was not developed until several centuries after the crucifixion, gradually evolving through various phases in the Early Christian and Medieval periods, reaching its peak in the Gothic style. The work delves into the various reasons for the decline of Christian architecture, particularly the influence of paganism, that hindered the full expression of the faith in architectural design. This book laments the missed opportunities and failures of recent architectural projects, arguing that inconsistency of design has resulted in a failure to produce buildings that reflect their purpose or embody the spirit of their era. The author offers a detailed analysis of various types of buildings, including churches, railways, schools, and commercial structures, highlighting the problems with their design and suggesting how they could have been improved by adhering to Christian architectural principles. This book presents a powerful argument for the revival of Christian architecture as the only true expression of the faith and culture of England. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
