God Is Beauty: A Retreat on the Gospel and Art with Introduction and Commentary by Christopher West

Christopher West

Originally delivered in 1962 for artists — and made available now for the first time in English — St. John Paul II’s (Karol Wojtyla’s) penetrating spiritual exercises on divine beauty and its reflection in our humanity — and the art it produces — remain as timely as ever. The retreat itself, of course, forms the heart of this attractive volume. To aid you in mining its many riches, it’s followed by an extensive commentary by Dr. Christopher West and various shorter, personal reflections from authors who are distinguished in the fields of theology and the arts and whose hearts and works have been transformed by the themes in this retreat: Bill Donaghy, Mike Mangione, Fr. Thomas Loya, Jennifer Settle and Dr. Sarah Maple. The book also features an inspiring conversation with Irish sculptor Dony MacManu.
