Publisher's Synopsis
Grace Church in Amherst, Massachusetts, has an unparalleled set of stained-glass windows. Who made them, and when? How were they made? How do they fit into the history of the stained-glass craft in America? Whom do they memorialize? What do their arcane symbols mean? What messages did they convey when they were made, and what might they say to us today? In this amply illustrated volume, church historian and retired professor Ken Samonds unpacks the answers to many of these questions, while holding out a few unsolved mysteries for readers to ponder.
