Beauty In The Word by Stratford Caldecott
Rethinking the Foundations of Education
This book argues that beauty is not merely an aesthetic extra but a fundamental way the divine is disclosed to us, shaping language, imagination, worship and culture; it weaves together theology, literature and art to show how a sacramental understanding of beauty can renew faith, education and public life. Drawing on Christian writers and thinkers, it critiques the flattening effects of modern secularism and advocates reclaiming the formative power of story, symbol and ritual so that truth and goodness are known through the experience of the beautiful.
