内容説明

The first illustrated gift book to depict the spiritual dimension of the black church and the pride that prevails within the church-going family, Soul Sanctuary is multi-denominational journey into the heart of the black worship experience. Churches in small rural and urban storefronts and large inner city and suburban mega churches are featured.Soul Sanctuary captures the spirit of the black church through arresting images of congregants' facial expressions and body language, their uniforms and dress, and the dignity of their worship. Baptisms, weddings, funerals, annual day celebrations, ecstatic soloists, and choir directors, prophetic preachers, angelic liturgical dancers, and peaceful moments of prayer and praise are captured in Johnson's intimate photographs.Evocative essays speak to the pictures and set the stage for a visual experience reminiscent of turning the pages in a precious family album. Selected quotes from the Bible and from the subjects themselves will add a spiritual and personal dimension to the book.
