Description : A Protestant Vision for Middle Earth
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. This book sketches a vision of "Medieval Protestantism," a personal and cultural vision that embraces the fullness of Christian truth, beauty, and goodness.
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.
Harold O.J. Brown
Angels in the Architecture is joy that comes in the morning. Calling for nothing less than the revival of Christendom, it is joyful wisdom following the soul’s long dark age of torture by various modernisms. Medieval thought is finally being emancipated from the blinding conceit of our age.
David Hall
Our generation falsely believes that the Middle Ages were the Dark Ages. In many ways, they were light years ahead of us in their pursuit of Christian beauty, truth, and goodness…This volume is a breath of fresh air in our polluted religious environment. Hopefully many readers will breathe deeply of its contents and be energized to vigorously and prayerfully seek to live out the scriptural truth it presents in home and society.

Note : Just because we carry this book by Douglas Wilson does not necessarily mean that we sweepingly endorse his other theology on reconstructionism and the Federal Vision.
