John A. Mallin, a Chicago artist who painted murals and frescos for more than one hundred churches throughout the twentieth century, professed that “there is nothing too good for God, so there is nothing too rich or too precious for God’s earthly homes.” In this visually captivating survey of many of the most significant churches in the Archdiocese of Chicago, one will quickly find that this philosophy has been promoted by a number of visionary pastors, generous parishioners, and talented artists and architects throughout the Chicago area for more than a century. Featuring over 200 striking photographs and keen scholarly insights into the theological inspiration, architectural achievements, and local history of more than sixty Chicago churches, this stunning book will delight students, artists, architects, historians, and pilgrims alike.

He has written and lectured widely on the history and theology of ecclesiastical architecture, and had served on the Art and Architecture Commission of the Archdiocese of Chicago.
