That is why this unique monograph written by Kirill Privalov, distinguished international journalist, writer, researcher and religious scholar, takes the form of a distinctive biography of Places of Worship; from the stone megaliths of Karnak and Stonehenge to majestic cathedrals. The chapters of this book are similar to pages in the chronicles of human life: childhood, youth, mature age… Every era, as is well-known, has its heroes and, accordingly, it’s places of worship: Hellenic megarons and Gothic cathedrals, Roman templums and Russian churches, catacomb chapels of the first Christians and Mormon tabernacles… There are intriguing myths connected to the Houses of God, many of which have turned into not only holy scripture but also earthly reality. Events at the forefront of which were King Solomon and Nero, Jesus Christ and Rafael, master Hiram Abif and abbot Suger, Joseph Smith and Peter the Great…
