Gospels in Glass: Stained Glass Windows in Missouri Churches

The stories of stained glass windows are the stories of heroes and villains, of saints and sinners, of murderers and martyrs. Some of these stories are from lands and times far from our own. They take place in ancient Rome, in Constantinople, in France and in England. They also take place in St. Louis and Kansas City, in St. Joseph and New Madrid. Sometimes they are entirely factual, sometimes they reveal truth in other ways, but they always tell us something about ourselves, about who we are and how we got that way. Together they make up the history of Missouri stained glass windows, but they also tell us the histories of the Christian faith, of immigrants in a new land, of artists struggling to create beauty and reveal truth.Ken Luebbering is the author of 'Gospels in Glass: Stained Glass Windows in Missouri Churches' with ISBN 9781891708053 and ISBN 1891708058.
