Description:
The good, the true and the beautiful-it is for these that our ì souls long. Though they reside in unity and perfection in God ì alone, the written word is one place we can discover glimmers of ì divine light.

The writings of great souls can turn our gaze toward God as ì he is revealed in Jesus Christ. Even authors who do not know ì Christ or who reject Christ can still point to him, for anyone ì who seeks the truth finds it; and any one who turns his back on ì the truth turns away from a someone whose presence can often be ì more keenly felt in his absence.

In this volume, Lucy Beckett illuminates some of the ì finest writings in the Western tradition and trains our eye to ì discover in them the Christian vision of God. She masterfully ì guides us through Sophocles, Plato, Augustine, Dante, ì Shakespeare, Dostoyevsky and many others, deftly demonstrating ì each author's worth as a bearer of truth.
