“This book is a sequel to my work Byzantine Churches of Thessaloniki, which was published in 1995. [...]The texts presented in this volume were written on various occasions. I have selected them and published them in a certain order to serve a twofold purpose, namely: 1) To help Orthodox Christians to better understand the various parts that together constitute the church building, their character and function, when they are such as they ought to be. 2) To aid architects who undertake to build Orthodox churches to do so correctly; and also, whenever possible, to make certain modifications in existing churches that will make them more expressive of Orthodox theology and spirituality.” —“Preface”
