Description

Explore the hidden connections between sacred architecture in this Routledge Jewish Studies Series volume. While the designs of synagogues and churches often appear similar, the specific methods used by designers have remained a mystery. This book examines how sacred spaces attempt to express heavenly values using earthly materials. Through an analysis of mathematical proportions, the text explains how numbers serve as a bridge between heaven and earth. By looking at the descriptions of the Jewish Tabernacle and Temple, you will learn how specific numerical values influenced the design of synagogues. The study uses the few surviving Jewish documents to reveal a deep symbolism that has occasionally been mirrored in Christian architecture. This work provides a clear look at the history and definition of traditional religious design.
