The capacity for sacred thinking, as expressed since the dawn of the human age in pictorial, symbolic language, is at least as old as civilization itself. This authoritative and beautifully illustrated book explores the long history of the many sacred beliefs whose symbols have enriched our collective spiritual life over the millennia. Fine art, evocative photography and powerful icons make this book as visually rich as it is spiritually and intellectually stimulating.
