Something as old as the Catholic Church has taken many interpretations through the years. "Cathedrals of Bone: The Role of the Body in Contemporary Catholic Literature" is a study of the Church and the metaphor of it as a body of Christianity in contemporary literature. Discussing how the concept has evolved, author John C. Waldmeir puts a scholarly study forth that will educate readers on the art and the history behind it and how it has become what it is today, with intellectual criticism of recent developments. "Cathedrals of Bone" is well worth the read for anyone studying modern Christianity.
