After World War II, Americans constructed an unprecedented number of synagogues, churches, cathedrals, chapels, and other structures. This is one of the first major studies of American religious architecture in the postwar period, and it reveals the diverse and complicated set of issues that emerged just as one of the nation's biggest building booms unfolded. Price argues that the resulting structures, as often mocked as loved, were physical embodiments of an important time in American religious history.
