Viking 2001. Near Fine in publishers cloth in like dustjacket. 323pp. 1st edition of detailed and elusive study. This work is an examination of the way in which a building can embody and create meaning. Visser begins her study with the eighth century Church of St Agnes in Rome, built over the grave of a 13 year-old girl who was murdered. From this starting point, Visser takes us into the realms of history, mythology, culture, tradition, ritual and belief, never straying too far from the physical fact of the architecture which houses the events which have shaped the past and which still shape lives today. From this one church, Visser makes a study of all churches, allowing us to see how it is possible to find meaning in buildings and to see their lives as equally rich and individual as those of the humans who have stood beneath their roofs.

bargain book, remainder book, book, reading, In this brilliant work, award-winning author Margaret Visser takes one church, Sant' Agnese fuori le Mura in Rome, and tells us what it means. Visser casts her net widely and looks at history, theology, anthropology, art history and technology, iconography, hagiography, and folklore in order to explain this one small building. The book ends at the church's beginning, with the grave of Agnes, a twelve-year-old girl who was murdered seventeen hundred years ago and whose remains lie buried beneath the church. With her extraordinary gift for giving life and meaning to seemingly ordinary objects, Visser reveals the spiritual, cultural, and historical riches that any church can offer. The symbolism of lambs, the Christian fascination with virgins, a consideration of the meanings of martyrdom, the catacombs, the history of relics - all are explored in Margaret Visser's trademark blend of wisdom, wit, and first-rate scholarship.
