More about the book

Father McNally has written a history of the form and function of Catholic church decoration, from the early Christian churches in Italy to the present, with attention to its effectiveness as a tool for the liturgy and for conveying a clear sense of the divine to the viewer. His critique extends to current church decoration, which he argues lacks the creative force and narrative power of that used in the past.
