Reviews for Visualising a Sacred City: London, Art and Religion
A wide-ranging and welcome book, and it is important in that it examines aspects of London that have been neglected over a period during which religion has not been given the consideration it so necessarily deserves. Its themes, unfamiliar to rather too many these days, are deeply significant ... this volume is recommended.
