In this book Allan Doig explores the interrelationship of liturgy
and architecture from the Early Church to the close of the Middle
Ages, taking into account social, economic, technical, theological
and artistic factors. These are crucial to a proper understanding
of ecclesiastical architecture of all periods, and together their
study illuminates the study of liturgy. Buildings and their
archaeology are standing indices of human activity, and the whole
matrix of meaning they present is highly revealing of the larger
meaning of ritual performance within, and movement through, their
space. The excavation of the mid-third-century church at Dura
Europos in the Syrian desert, the grandeur of Constantine's
Imperial basilicas, the influence of the great pilgrimage sites,
and the marvels of soaring Gothic cathedrals, all come alive in a
new way when the space is animated by the liturgy for which they
were built. Reviewing the most recent research in the area, and
moving the debate forward, this study will be useful to liturgists,
clergy, theologians, art and architectural historians, and those
interested in the conservation of ecclesiastical structures built
for the liturgy.
