<br/><br/> Thinking about church architecture has come to an impasse. Reformers and traditionalists are talking past each other. In Theology in Stone , Richard Kieckhefer seeks to help both sides move beyond the standoff toward a fruitful conversation about houses of worship. Drawing on a wide range of  historical examples with an eye to their contemporary relevance, he offers refreshing new ideas about the meanings and uses of church architecture.
