America's Religious Architecture: Sacred Places for Every Community |
| Marilyn J. Chiat |
| With more than 280,000 churches, synagogues, and mosques, the United States is the most church-laden nation in the world. In this lavishly illustrated book, Marilyn Chiat takes readers on a tour of 500 of the most historically and culturally significant places of worship in the United States. From vernacular to high style, rural and urban, she tells the stories behind many well-known landmarks and introduces us to many unexpected treasures, such as an exotic Moorish synagogue gracing a neighborhood in a small town in Mississippi.
