Review: Agnes, Outside the Walls but Inside Our Hearts - Margaret Visser writes far more than a study of a building that happens to be a church. It is even far more than a study of a twelve year old saint. Her book is a retelling of the basis of Christianity, the glory of sacrificial love. For seventeen hundred years people have held in reverence the memory of the little girl who defeated the powerful Romans with the sheer force of her love for Christ. The church built over her tomb (St. Agnes, Outside the Walls) as well as the one built over the place of her death (St Agnes in Agony) and, for that matter, the hundreds (thousands?) St Agnes’s built throughout the world, throughout the centuries, have all been “Geometries of Love.” Thank you, Margaret Visser for giving us this masterpiece. Review: More Church, Less Sermon, Please - This could have been a terrific guide to absolutely everything in the fine old Roman church of Sant'Agnese fuori le Mura, but instead it bogs down in mystical meanderings and fifth-rate philosophizing. These aspects of the book might be of interest to those who actually believe such things, but for me it just produced eye-rolling. I found myself skimming page after page and saying impatiently to the author, "Will you please just get on with it!" There's a great guidebook to Sant' Agnese in there somewhere, but the information is buried among all the other pious maundering that bloats the book to over 250 pages. There are enough footnotes and a long enough bibliography that this could almost be a PhD dissertation! The only way it would be of any use as a guide book would be to go through it with a highlighter, and mark the passages of relevance to the church itself, while ignoring the interminable sermonizing. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00X4YMTAS | | Accessibility | Learn more | | Best Sellers Rank | #971,014 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #33 in Religious Buildings Architecture #84 in Religious Art #185 in Religious Building Architecture | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (44) | | Enhanced typesetting | Enabled | | File size | 3.6 MB | | ISBN-13 | 978-1504011709 | | Language | English | | Page Flip | Enabled | | Print length | 443 pages | | Publication date | June 23, 2015 | | Publisher | Open Road Media | | Screen Reader | Supported | | Word Wise | Not Enabled | | X-Ray | Not Enabled | ## Images ![The Geometry of Love: Space, Time, Mystery, and Meaning in an Ordinary Church - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Oru1MAoVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Agnes, Outside the Walls but Inside Our Hearts *by J***O on June 27, 2025* Margaret Visser writes far more than a study of a building that happens to be a church. It is even far more than a study of a twelve year old saint. Her book is a retelling of the basis of Christianity, the glory of sacrificial love. For seventeen hundred years people have held in reverence the memory of the little girl who defeated the powerful Romans with the sheer force of her love for Christ. The church built over her tomb (St. Agnes, Outside the Walls) as well as the one built over the place of her death (St Agnes in Agony) and, for that matter, the hundreds (thousands?) St Agnes’s built throughout the world, throughout the centuries, have all been “Geometries of Love.” Thank you, Margaret Visser for giving us this masterpiece. ### ⭐⭐⭐ More Church, Less Sermon, Please *by A***R on March 13, 2006* This could have been a terrific guide to absolutely everything in the fine old Roman church of Sant'Agnese fuori le Mura, but instead it bogs down in mystical meanderings and fifth-rate philosophizing. These aspects of the book might be of interest to those who actually believe such things, but for me it just produced eye-rolling. I found myself skimming page after page and saying impatiently to the author, "Will you please just get on with it!" There's a great guidebook to Sant' Agnese in there somewhere, but the information is buried among all the other pious maundering that bloats the book to over 250 pages. There are enough footnotes and a long enough bibliography that this could almost be a PhD dissertation! The only way it would be of any use as a guide book would be to go through it with a highlighter, and mark the passages of relevance to the church itself, while ignoring the interminable sermonizing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Labor of Love *by J***. on October 18, 2017* The Geometry of Love is clearly a labor of love, years in the making. Margaret Visser takes the reader on a very detailed and fascinating tour of the extraordinary (though Visser terms it ordinary in the book's subtitle) Roman Church St. Agnes Outside the Walls, which was built of the tomb of St. Agnes, an early Christian martyr. Along the way Visser imparts pertinent lessons in Catholicism, history, architecture, art, mythology, etymology, geography, and politics, all leading to a deeper and more meaningful understanding of the building and its history. I found myself engrossed in much of what Visser writes, and learned much from the book. But some of the detail in the book can be overwhelming, and sometimes a bit boring; and, the book has one serious defect: other than on its dust jacket, the book has no illustrations or photos. Visser describes many statues, paintings, architectural features, etc., well, but photos would have been invaluable. It is, thankfully, possible to view images online. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/125382664-the-geometry-of-love-space-time-mystery-and-meaning-in](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/125382664-the-geometry-of-love-space-time-mystery-and-meaning-in) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-28*
