by Douglas Jones and Douglas Wilson
Christianity presents a glorious vision of culture, a vision overflowing with truth, beauty, and goodness. It’s a vision that stands in stark conflict with the anemic modern (and postmodern) perspectives that dominate contemporary life. Medieval Christianity began telling a beautiful story about the good life, but it was silenced in mid-sentence. The Reformation rescued truth, but its modern grandchildren have often ignored the importance of a medieval grasp of the good life.
Angels in the Architecture is a unique contribution, bringing back to a somewhat desiccated and feeble Protestantism a full flagon of the rich wine of God’s creation. The answer to the crass sensuality of materialism is not to be found only, or chiefly, in the austerity of a hermit’s cave but in a legitimate and joyful appropriation of beauty, bounty, and covenant love.
