Angels in Stone: Augustinian Churches in the Philippines by Pedro G. Galende (Out of Print)

"It has been dubbed as the first comprehensive documentation of Augustinian churches in the Philippines and the most authoritative piece of literature in its class. Here the author documents the 162 churches that the Augustinians have erected in the country from the start of their evangelization in 1565 until the end of Spanish administration in 1898 spanning a good 333 years. Pioneer evangelist in the Philippines was the Order of St. Augustine, O.S.A., which also pioneered in Philippine architecture, The Pinoy look our towns have – a plaza where convento and gobierno confront each; churches in earthquake baroque and houses in the Antillian style – as an Augustinian creation."
