A Place of Springs

More about the book

Grace Jantzen explores a Quaker spirituality centered on beauty as a counter to a society fixated on death and violence. By examining the roots of Western cultural violence from the Greco-Roman era through the Judeo-Christian tradition, she offers a theological and philosophical framework that emphasizes the transformative power of beauty. This work invites readers to reconsider spirituality as a means of healing and hope in a troubled world, advocating for a deeper connection to aesthetic experiences as a path toward peace and understanding.
