General Description: "Beauty will save the world," said Dostoyevsky. In this book, John Saward presents a study of two powerful ways in which true beauty shines upon the world--in the lives of the saints and in the works of Christian art, "the beauty of holiness and the holiness of beauty." This book is a unique and unprecedented meditation on the beauty of Christ and His saints and centers on several works of art by Blessed John of Fiesole, known to the world as Fra Angelico. Drawing on Angelico's own theological sources, Saward has written a book not on art history but on the splendor of Catholic truth. Beauty is the splendor of truth, the attractive radiance of truth. This book is at the service of that attraction. It is intended to help Christians grow in wonder at the glory of Divine Revelation, to which both the Church's saints and the Church's art bear witness. Illustrated with Angelico's color art.
John Saward, a former Anglican clergyman who converted to Roman Catholicism, is a Professor of Dogmatic Theology at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, Philadelphia. The author of Redeemer in the Womb and The Mysteries of March, he is also a translator of the works of Hans Urs von Balthasar. Other Customers Also Purchased
