Baroque, Gothic, Romanesque, Greek. These traditional architectural styles are easily recognizable in public buildings and especially in houses of worship. Each has a particular influence on sacred space, and all tend to highlight the utter transcendence of God.

In this book, Mark Torgerson builds a case for a proper understanding of God's transcendence and immanence and shows how church architecture has traditionally interpreted these key concepts and how they are being interpreted today.

A celebration and exploration of the modern conception of sacred space, An Architecture of Immanence will interest architects, liturgists, and all Christians who seek to read the sacred spaces of the recent past.
