An Outline of Religious Ideas in post-Atlantean Times

We need only compare the Greek temple, which is a dwelling place of the god, with what later becomes the Christian church, as it is most purely expressed in the Gothic style. We will see that in the external forms there must even be a regression if one wants to represent the eternal in the temporal and spatial. And what later art achieves by expressing the inner in the outer is entirely under the influence of the Christian spiritual current. Basically, it must be said that it is understandable that architecture could become most beautiful where one could still cling with all one's soul to the outer powers that flood through space.
