This book is brainy and will challenge anyone not in the habit of reading "high" w. Dr. Peter A. Kwasniewski said Christianity is the art of salvation and the salvation of art. David Clayton, painter and iconographer, teacher and writer, and whirlwind of interesting ideas on all things aesthetic, has contributed some of my favorite articles to New Liturgical Movement over the years, be they on mathematical proportions in architecture and music, on what makes a work of art sacred rather than merely religious, on the many links between the liturgy and the fine arts, on the conditions for a rebirth of ecclesiastical art in our times, on the profound connection between education and liturgy (something that
