Description

"The Temple of God is the image of the holy City - the New Jerusalem, descending from heaven from God," wrote St. John the Theologian. The history of the world's great temples is directly connected with the history of religion as a whole, beginning with humanity's first realization of the greatness of God, up to the spiritual quests of modern times. In every age, people have set aside special places for prayer and sacrifice. These places were adorned by every means available, corresponding to the stages of humanity's spiritual and material development. The book "100 Great Temples" opens a new project of the "Veche" publishing house - the "100 Great" Golden Collection series, intended to present readers, in improved print quality, with the most interesting and vivid editions of the popular "100 Great" series. The book tells of the most outstanding monuments of the world's main religions, which have entered the treasury of world art, from the Temple of Amun at Karnak and the Parthenon in Athens to St. Isaac's Cathedral in St. Petersburg and the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow.
