“When we look at churches which were adapted or built to house the Christian liturgy at the apogee of its bloom and creative force, we see that what matters is not some series of specific details observed individually. Rather, it is the dynamic relationship between the different foyers of celebration, incarnated by diverse elements and the coherence of their arrangement. This can engender, as has been the case, an almost unlimited variety of forms. But all these forms wither and die when they are copied materially without any understanding of what gives them their meaning. History alone can provide us with the key to their genesis. Then we see that only the vital function can explain the organ…” This book, written in English and published in 1967, is composed of five short chapters which take stock of the essential facts of the last twenty centuries of tradition, in the East as well as the West. A final and longer chapter considers all the questions posed by the revival of the Christian faith. Liturgical architecture, according to Bouyer, only finds its path when it becomes aware of the ‘knowledge of God’ which it must ‘incarnate’, and when it gives in to ‘joyous obedience’: ‘a communion with the most holy presence of the living God amongst us’.
