It is a book that makes the necessary connections between faith and reason and between theology, philosophy, history and literature. It presents a panoramic overview of Western Civilization, from Homer to Tolkien, and highlights the importance of the great figures of the Catholic cultural revival, including Newman, Wilde, Chesterton, Belloc, and C.S. Lewis. Ranging from Shakespeare to Solzhenitsyn,\u003ci\u003e Beauteous Truth\u003c\/i\u003e celebrates the marriage of sanity and sanctity, which is the fruit of the indissoluble union of fides et ratio. \u003cbr\u003eEarly ReviewsWhat we have here is a glorious and compendious portmanteau of – well – of Everything, as it were. We have all long since discovered that Joseph Pearce is a polymath. But he has outdone himself with this volume. The subtitle is the cue: “Faith, Reason, Literature, and Culture.” And the text fulfills that promise. Readers are in for a bracing itinerary that will take them from Greek classicism through the Middle Ages, the Counter-Reformation, the Romantic Movement, and into modernity. The presiding factor in the whole thing is a robust Catholic orthodoxy. The author\/guide speaks with both authority and brio. This book qualifies for the “Highly recommended” slot. – Thomas Howard (St. John’s Seminary, Boston, emer.)\u003cbr\u003eJoseph Pearce has not only written much on Catholic letters but on the whole tradition of letters in our culture. In this collection, he brings together his wide, amazingly wide reflections and considerations on literature and what it really stands for. While many paths to the highest things might be taken, the literary path is perhaps the most pleasant and the most engaging. Pearce not only draws us out, alerts us to authors who speak to us, but he also opens doors to writers and themes in Catholic and western literature that would be otherwise closed to us without his sensitive guidance and insight. We have here the whole of Pearce where he tells us everything about which he has been thinking. It is a great contribution to our understanding of reality, to the things that are.” – James V. Schall, s.j., Georgetown University\u003cbr\u003eThis interdisciplinary collection of essays previously published in such journals as \u003ci\u003eSt. Austin Review, First Things\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eChesterton Review\u003c\/i\u003e provides rich food for thought on an array of topics dealing with the intersection between beauty, truth, culture, and Catholicism. Brief yet pithy, each essay can stand alone, inviting wide ranging meditation on the modern situation in light of history, literature, science, and religion. Taken together, the essays offer an epic sweep of a culture at crossroads urgently needing to reclaim the illumination of Christ. This is a book to savor and return to, time and again. – Dr. Mary Reichardt, Professor of Catholic Studies and Literature, The University of St. Thomas, St. Paul, Minn.\u003cbr\u003e                 04       03       01       http:\/\/cloud.firebrandtech.com\/api\/v2\/hostedcover\/32c5ccd7-74b0-45aa-8dfc-a871014ec05a                 01       Firebrand Cloud Imprint Key       3431065       St. Augustines Press                 01       01       Firebrand Cloud Publisher Key       3431061       St. Augustine Press          04     20140715     2012            01       AD AE AF AG AI AL AM AO AQ AR AS AT AU AW AX AZ BA BB BD BE BF BG BH BI BJ BL BM BN BO BQ BR BS BT BV BW BY BZ CA CC CD CF CG CH CI CK CL CM CN CO CR CU CV CW CX CY CZ DE DJ DK DM DO DZ EC EE EG EH ER ES ET FI FJ FK FM FO FR GA GB GD GE GF GG GH GI GL GM GN GP GQ GR GS GT GU GW GY HK HM HN HR HT HU ID IE IL IM IN IO IQ IR IS IT JE JM JO JP KE KG KH KI KM KN KP KR KW KY KZ LA LB LC LI LK LR LS LT LU LV LY MA MC MD ME MF MG MH MK ML MM MN MO MP MQ MR MS MT MU MV MW MX MY MZ NA NC NE NF NG NI NL NO NP NR NU NZ OM PA PE PF PG PH PK PL PM PN PR PS PT PW PY QA RE RO RS RU RW SA SB SC SD SE SG SH SI SJ SK SL SM SN SO SR SS ST SV SX SY SZ TC TD TF TG TH TJ TK TL TM TN TO TR TT TV TW TZ UA UG UM US UY UZ VA VC VE VG VI VN VU WF WS YE YT ZA ZM ZW                 01       9       in                 01       228.6       mm                 02       6       in                 02       152.4       mm                 03       1.3       in                 03       33.02       mm                 Chicago Distribution Center       02       Y       IP       20       20140615       24                01                    02           St. Augustine Trade                  30.00         USD         20210716","brand":"St Augustine's Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54220676399448,"sku":"9781587310676","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781587310676_6fd2bb1f-10b9-47e9-b2ba-070e4646090c.jpg?v=1771314328","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/beauteous-truth-faith-reason-literature-culture","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
