Using the San Marco Altarpiece by Fra Angelico as his guide,
Saward presents a philosophical study of earthly holiness and beauty and how it
reflects the glory of Christ.
This book is a refreshing return to classical ideals based upon
the writings of great saints such as Thomas Aquinas, Bonaventure and Augustine.
Far from being a matter of taste, Saward shows that beauty is not only a
physical characteristic, but, even more, a reflection of Christ's presence in
the world.
