In Glorious Temples or Babylonic Whores, Anne-Francoise Morel
offers an account of the intellectual and cultural history of
places of worship in Stuart England. Official documents issued by
the Church of England rarely addressed issues regarding the status,
function, use, and design of churches; but consecration sermons
turn time and again to the conditions and qualities befitting a
place of worship in Post-Reformation England. Placing the church
building directly in the midst of the heated discussions on the
polity and ceremonies of the Church of England, this book recovers
a vital lost area of architectural discourse. It demonstrates that
the religious principles of church building were enhanced by, and
contributed to, scientific developments in fields outside the realm
of religion, such as epistemology, the theory of sense perception,
aesthetics, rhetoric, antiquarianism, and architecture.
