In the history of architectural culture, the Scripture is the archetypical source not only for designing worship buildings but also for the construction practice in general. The Old Testament offers a repertoire of spaces and buildings that has nurtured the architectural imaginary both in the area of the Mediterranean and in Europe. When we consider the New Testament, the references to the architectural forms become more elusive. In fact, some episodes have suggested that Christianity has no need for specific sacred spaces; that is to say, these passages have been used in support of an atopic conception of the Christian cult. Not only had the Temple in Jerusalem to end, but also the sacred architecture should give way to a saint architecture, made of saint Christians as living temples of God. The impulse to surpass worship architecture is corroborated by the eschatological vision in the last book of the Scripture: the apocalyptic vision of the New Jerusalem is considered in its entirety a model, but in the city of the end times the material mediations of the relationship with God will no longer exist. The whole city will be the place of the Presence. The hypothesis that material Christian temples are not necessary represents a recurrent aspiration in the history of Christianity and in architecture, despite the fact that no organized community has ever tried to realize it. This topic is again at the center of the debate over architecture in the post-conciliar epoch, which focuses on the construction of the celebrating assembly. So tenuous a link between Christian architecture and the Gospel also has significant repercussions on the relationship between Christian architecture and evangelization, which is the theme of our conference.
