About this book
The introductory note describes the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine as still being built and explains the decision to discuss its spirit before its fabric. The guide presents the cathedral as a sacred book expressed through piers, arches, sculptured marble, carved oak, stained glass, mosaic, embroidery and tapestry. The account distinguishes the cathedral’s worship through the grandeur and beauty of the building from its active worship through services held within.
The discussion of the chapels connects their purpose with services in the languages of the principal ethnological groups or regions of the world. The guide interprets those chapels as expressing the idea of all the nations of the earth gathered around the altar.
