About
In earlier times, the sea was the road in Norway, so the majority of churches are on the coast - often in places that today are far off the beaten track. Many of these churches are beautifully located, often all by themselves and in places without a road connection. In some places in such weather-hardy places that they are roped with iron bars to the ground. The churches were not only an important gathering place for the population, but in many places they also served as sailing marks for seafarers along the coast. The author takes readers on a church trip along the entire Norwegian coast - to the outermost islands and into many of our narrow fjords. The book 'Churches on the Coast' is as much a coastal story as a church story. Not only is the church building itself described, but also the community the church has stood in and the coastal community as it is today. It is a story about the church's great importance to the coastal people
I tidligere tider var det sjøen som var veien i Norge, derfor ligger flertallet av kirker på kysten - ofte på steder som i dag er langt utenfor allfarvei. Mange av disse kirkene ligger eventyrlig vakkert til, gjerne helt for seg selv og på steder uten veiforbindelse. Noen steder på så værharde plasser at de er bardunert med jernstag til grunnen. Kirkene var ikke bare et viktig samlingssted for befolkningen, men mange steder fungerte de også som seilingsmerker for sjøfarende langs kysten. Forfatteren tar leserne med på en kirkereise langs hele norskekysten - til de ytterste øyer og inn mange av våre trange fjorder. Boken 'Kirker på kysten' er like mye en kysthistorie som en kirkehistorie. Ikke bare beskrives selve kirkebygget, men også det samfunnet kirken har stått i og kystsamfunnet slik det er i dag. Det er en fortelling om kirkens store betydning for kystfolket
