Journey into Christian Art

Searching always for the spirituality that inspired their work, de Borchgrave's work shows us how Christian artists through the ages strove in mosaic, paint, and stone "to enrich the mind, touch the heart, and feed the soul."

For all who want to broaden and deepen their appreciation of religious art, this magnificent volume offers:
-Over 100 superb color reproductions of some of the world's greatest paintings.
-The story of 2000 years of Christian art-from early wall-paintings to contemporary works by living artists
-Explorations into the lives of more than fifty of the world's greatest artists
-Fascinating insights into the spirituality of the artists and how it informed and shaped their work

"This book is an eye-opener in the best sense. Modern people are bombarded by stimulating images but much of the Christian world seems to be pre-occupied exclusively with the archaeology of texts, as if the 'Word of God' could be reduced to words. In this context, A Journey into Christian Art is very timely. Helen de Borchgrave has achieved a balance between text and picture which opens the doors of perception and feeds the imagination."
(Richard Chartres, Bishop of London)
