Photographer Robert Beger set out to record Los Angeles' religious history, visiting over 300 historic houses of worship over the course of three and a half years: Sacred Spaces is the culmination of his efforts, providing a fine survey of churches, temples, and synagogues all over 50 years old and largely unknown by the general public. Religious Los Angeles residents and students of religious architecture alike will find Sacred Spaces appropriately juxtaposes images with history, making each building's architectural and cultural background come to life.
