Visser spins a fascinating and detailed web of mythology, history, early Christian theology, Roman culture and contemporary practice as she unfolds the layers of meaning in the architecture of the small but ancient Christian church of St. Agnes in Rome. She enables the reader to discover the meanings expressed by any church, anywhere. The Geometry of Love was made into a prize-winning documentary film.
