Theology in the Architecture of Ancient Churches in Kerala: Re-Presents the Philosophic, Art & Aesthetic Dimensions Focusing Vastu Vidya in Indian Cultural Traditions

 
Thomas George (Author) Christian Heritage Rediscovered
Synopsis

This book is the outcome of author's research into the technical aspects of the architecture of selected ancient churches of Kerala, which is rooted in the history and prevailing cultural traditions, in the light of the Bible. The book unfolds the unfathomable theological elements in the church architecture of St. Thomas Christians, which was pivotal for our predecessors during the design and construction of spiritual edifices. The author candidly argues that, even though the churches or places of worship are built with materials of this world, they are consecrated as houses which epitomize the glory of the Almighty and where God dwells with all his/her majesty and grandeur.

Contents: Preface. Introduction. 1. Evolution of Christian architecture and its theological implications. 2. `Vastu Vidya' in Indian culture and architectural traditions of churches in Kerala. 3. The architecture of selected ancient Syrian churches in Kerala. Bibliography.
