paperbackRestoring Beauty
The Good, the True, and the Beautiful in the Writings of C.S. Lewis
by Louis Markos
More and more in our modern and postmodern culture the twin concepts of beauty and truth have been separated both from each other and from their individual connection to the divine source of Beauty and Truth.

Volume 13
Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture
Edited by Kenneth Stevenson and Michael Glerup
