The Beauty of Holiness and the Holiness of Beauty

Exploring the transformative power of beauty, this book delves into how Christ's beauty is reflected through the lives of saints and Christian art, particularly focusing on the works of Fra Angelico. John Saward emphasizes the interplay between holiness and beauty, drawing from the insights of the Church's Fathers and Doctors. Rather than a traditional art history, the text serves as a theological meditation aimed at deepening Christians' appreciation for Divine Revelation, as exemplified by both saints and sacred art.
