Step inside Epiphany Church without leaving your armchair. The detail is quietly astonishing. Thomas F. Coakleys Description Of The Epiphany Church, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania stands at once as a historic church guidebook and a reverent catholic church monograph, guiding readers through an intricate architectural church description of one of the most distinctive downtown Pittsburgh churches. Moving with care from exterior to interior, Coakley dwells on church architecture and art, devotional spaces and visual symbolism, setting the building within the unfolding story of Pittsburgh Catholic church history and the spiritual life of historic Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this classic account of a key Pennsylvania religious landmark serves as both a richly atmospheric church history reference book and a precise resource for local historians, students of historic American church architecture and lovers of American Catholic heritage. Restored for todays and future generations, it preserves the authentic voice of a community and its craftsmen at a pivotal moment in the citys growth. More than a reprint - a collectors item and a cultural treasure - it appeals equally to casual visitors curious about a single sacred space and to serious collectors building a library of enduring works on church architecture, art and faith in the United States.
