Symbols of Catholicism

by Robert Le Gall, Laziz Hamani (Photographs)

This book invites the reader either to discover or to increase the understanding of Catholocism, on of the cornerstones of Western culture. The symbols of the Catholic Church are at once human and divine, material and spiritual, for they are the very Incarnation of the Word of God. Here Dom Robert Le Gall examines the people at the heart of the church, its saints and Biblical figures, the sacraments, songs, gestures, as well as sacred objects and the church's liturgical calendar.

Genres: Religion, Nonfiction, Catholic, Theology, Christian

Reviews

[VALERIE Richardson]

Lovely photography, but I was so disappointed that this book was simply an "intro" to the items, not the reasons behind them being important to the religion. I think the content explanation I reviewed when deciding to get this book really oversold it.

[Virginia Aguirre]

More of a reference book. It is helpful for non-Catholics and those newly converted to the faith.

[Jacqueline]

If you a beginner of the Catholic faith, or just wanting to learn more of tradition, this is good book.

[Stitchywoman]

Interesting and informative information on different aspects of Catholicism. The artwork is beautiful.
