The photos by Anton Brandl and Roman von Gotz capture the sense of space and skillfully work details into a tableau. Fr. Karl Kern, S.J. describes the city church of St. Michaels in Munich, which is supported through the use of vivid pictures. This book engages the reader through its theological-spiritual approach to St. Michaels, highlighting the churchs contemporary relevance and its deep historical meaning. The superb photography offers a dazzling display, even for the trained eye, and induces the reader to become a visitor to this historic baroque church. German text.
