Through inspirational text and images, Sister Wendy Beckett, the world-renowned art expert, and Duccio di Buoninsegna (c.1255-1319), the first of the Great Italian renaissance painters, join forces to offer us a privileged meditation into the story of our salvation in Christ. The mysteries of our faith - darkness and light, falsity and truth, dying and rising, humanity and divinity, Lent and Easter - were all very vivid and concrete dimensions of daily life in the Middle Ages. Here, Sister Wendy reminds us that this reality - its challenges and consequences - is still with us. Sr. Wendy Beckett Paperback, 64 pages Liguori Publications 9780764815775
