Journalist, broadcaster and author Peter Stanford looks at how Christianity came to define our past and shape our present through the stories of church buildings.
He visits ancient and modern churches, abbeys, chapels and cathedrals in Britain and Ireland to explain how a religion that began in the Middle East came to shape our lives. Stanford builds a picture of what Christianity has meant to the British Isles through the design of the buildings and the treasured objects they hold and explains how they give a sense of who we are and how we live with each other.
‘A heavenly book, elegant and thoughtful. Get one for yourself and one for the church-crawler in your life!’ Lucy Worsley
Stanford is a senior features writer at the Daily and Sunday Telegraph and presenter of programmes on BBC 1, Channel 4 and Channel 5. His books include Martin Luther: Catholic Dissident; Judas: The Troubling History of the Renegade Apostle; The Devil - A Biography; and biographies of Bronwen Astor, Lord Longford and C Day-Lewis. His Catholics and Sex was an award-winning Channel 4 series.
This event is part of a festival series on the Christian tradition.
