Christian Symbols And How To Use Them (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781164483045)

""Christian Symbols And How To Use Them"" is a comprehensive guidebook written by M. A. Justina Knapp that explores the meaning and significance of various symbols used in Christianity. The book is divided into two parts: the first part delves into the history and origins of Christian symbols, while the second part provides practical advice on how to incorporate these symbols into personal and communal worship. Throughout the book, Knapp explains the symbolism behind common Christian images such as the cross, the dove, and the fish, as well as lesser-known symbols such as the pelican and the phoenix. She also explores the use of color, numbers, and geometric shapes in Christian art and architecture. In the second part of the book, Knapp offers suggestions for incorporating Christian symbols into daily life, including prayer, meditation, and personal reflection. She also provides guidance for using symbols in communal worship, such as in the design of church buildings and in the liturgy of the Mass. Overall, ""Christian Symbols And How To Use Them"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in deepening their understanding of Christian symbolism and incorporating these symbols into their spiritual practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
