Powers, I wonder what it’s like to be one of the best American novelists alive, yet largely unknown beyond a coterie of fanatical admirers such as myself. Email This Article House of Christ the King: Churches of the Early Christian Centuries - Michael S. RoseThe earliest Christian “houses of God” not only established themselves as permanent sacred places, they reflected in many ways the divinely inspired design and construction of Solomon’s Temple and its transient precursor, the Tabernacle in the Wilderness. Email This Article House of God Foundations - Michael S. RoseThe moveable tent-like sanctuary of the Hebrews is the earliest known structure in Judeo culture to establish a sacred place, one that was specifically meant to be a “house of God.” Whereas the tabernacles of the Christian churches are designed to hold the presence of God in His Sacrament of the Eucharist, Israel’s tabernacle in the wilderness housed the presence of God in a different way. Email This Article How The Passion Changed Him - Tim DrakeJim Caviezel was already a devout Catholic when he got the role of Christ in Mel Gibson's "The Passion of Christ". Email This Article I saw "The Passion" - Barbara NicolosiSo I was at a private screening at Icon Productions yesterday, and got to see a rough cut of "The Passion". There were about twelve people in the room, including Mel Gibson, his producing partner Steve and four or five other Icon staffers. Email This Article Imagination: The Heart’s Best Guide - William Kilpatrick, Gregory Wolfe, and Suzanne M. WolfeConcepts such as virtue, good example, and character have been out of fashion in our society for quite some time, and their absence is reflected in the available guidebooks to children’s literature. What is missing from these guides — what seems to be avoided — is any suggestion that certain books may help to develop character, and that others may not. The distinctive feature of this book, by contrast, is its focus on the moral dimension of reading. Email This Article In the Image and Likeness of God: Classical Renaissance - Michael S. RoseIn Italy, the Gothic style never really took hold. In a land built on classical antiquity, Gothic was seen as outlandish, alien, and un-Italian. Consequently, Gothic architecture was increasingly regarded with contempt. In fact, the 15th-century Italian architect Filarete (1400-69) once declared: “A curse on those who thought of such rubbish! Only barbarians can have brought it into Italy.” Email This Article Interview with Author Joseph Pearce on "Lord of the Rings" - ZenitCatholic convert Joseph Pearce is author of two popular books on J.R.R. Tolkien, Tolkien: Man and Myth and Tolkien: A Celebration (both Ignatius Press). With the film release of Lord of the Rings scheduled for next month, Pearce mused about Tolkien (1892-1973) and his work in this interview with ZENIT. Email This Article Introduction to G.K. Chesterton - EDWARD PETERChesterton is often called the most quoted man in English; he was certainly one of the most prolific. Email This Article Introduction to Paul Horgan's Things As They Are - George WeigelAlthough my years at Baltimore's St. Paul Latin High School coincided with the cultural meltdown of the Age of Aquarius, I was happily spared the kind of English-class reading lists with which students (and parents) are now afflicted.
