The Handbook of Church Education has long become a standard work in schools and communities; the first volume is now in its third edition. The second volume presented here complements this with essential topics: the focus is on the architectural historical periods of church building. Typical features, materials, and construction principles are introduced and illustrated with examples. Theological backgrounds are explained, and numerous suggestions are provided on how to pedagogically explore and compare churches from a specific era. Contributions on monasteries, monastery complexes, and cemeteries, on space and liturgy, on sound and space, as well as on the religious spaces of Judaism and Islam expand the thematic spectrum. Additionally, there are suggestions for planning a church educational event and for church educational work.
