&lt p&gt Newarks Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart is one of the United States greatest cathedrals and most exceptional Gothic Revival buildings. Rising from Newarks highest ground and visible for miles, it spectacularly evokes its historic models. &lt em&gt Gothic Pride&lt /em&gt  sets Sacred Heart in the context of American cathedral building and, blending diverse fields, accounts for the complex circumstances that produced it. &lt /p&gt  &lt p&gt Calling upon a wealth of primary sources, Brian Regan describes in a compelling narrative the cathedrals almost century-long history. He traces the project to its origins in the late 1850s and the great expectations held by the projects prime moversall passionate about Gothic architecture and immensely proud of Newarkthat never wavered despite numerous setbacks and challenges. Construction did not begin until 1898 and, when completed in 1954, the cathedral became New Jerseys largest churchand the most expensive Catholic church ever built in America. During Pope John Paul IIs visit to the United States in 1995, he celebrated evening prayer at the Cathedral. On that occasion, the Cathedral of the Sacred Heart was elevated to a basilica to become the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart. &lt /p&gt  &lt p&gt Meticulously researched, &lt em&gt Gothic Pride&lt /em&gt  brings to life the people who built, contributed to, and worshipped in Sacred Heart, recalling such remarkable personalities as George Hobart Doane, Jeremiah ORourke, Gonippo Raggi, and Archbishop Thomas Walsh. In many ways, the cathedrals story is a lens that lets us look at the history of Newark itselfits rise as an industrial city and its urban culture in the nineteenth century  its transformation in the twentieth century  its immigrants and the profound effects of their cultures, especially their religion, on American life  and the power of architecture to serve as a symbol of community values and pride. &lt /p&gt
