From the Moorish synagogue in small Texas town, to the New England meetinghouse nestled in the palm trees of Hawaii, this comprehensive historical survey of America's religious architecture celebrates the country's ethnic and spiritual diversity through the magnificent breadth of these community landmarks.

Includes over 300 black-and-white photographs and foreword by Bill Moyers, creator of the PBS "Genesis" series.
