Description:
In this deeply moving narrative, Thomas Howard describes his ì
pilgrimage from Evangelicalism (which he loves and reveres as the ì
religion of his youth) to liturgical Christianity. He soon ì
afterward became a Roman Catholic. He describes Evangelicalism ì
with great sympathy and then examines more formal, liturgical ì
worship with the freshness of someone discovering for the first ì
time what his soul had always hungered for. This is a book of ì
apologetics without polemics. Non-Catholics will gain an ì
appreciation of the formal and liturgical side of Catholicism. ì
Catholics will see with fresh eyes the beauty of their tradition. ì
Worship, prayer, the Blessed Virgin, the Mass, and the liturgical ì
year are taken one after the other, and what may have seemed ì
routine and repetitive suddenly comes to life under the ì
enchanting wand of Howard's beautiful prose. Howard unfolds for ì
us just what occurs in the vision and imagination of a Christian ì
who, nurtured in the earnestness of Protestant Evangelicalism, ì
finds himself yearning for "whatever-it-is" that has been there ì
in the Church for 2000 years. It traces Howard's soul-searching ì
and shows why he believes the practices of the liturgical Church ì
are an invaluable aid for any Christian's spiritual life. ì
Reminiscent of the style and scope of Newman, Lewis and Knox, ì
this book is destined to be a classic.
This is a used book and is in Good condition.
