Mother of the Lamb

Arts & Literature

“Abounding with vivid detail and told with unerring dramatic flair, Matt Milliner's new book traces the evolution of one of Christianity's central motifs--the Virgin and Child--as it evolved across the Eastern Mediterranean from the eleventh to the fifteenth century. We have a front-row seat as Milliner takes us through the many dramatic twists and turns in Byzantine icon theology and practice and its tangled political and ecclesial background. Mother of the Lamb is an absorbing and compelling story unfolded by an immensely gifted art-historian and storyteller.”

Stations on the Journey of Inquiry

Philosophy

“A long-overdue gathering of David Burrell's early work, this collection invites us to engage and learn from one of the most probing, erudite, and generous minds working in the borderlands between philosophy and theology for the past half-century. Consistently detaining, wide-ranging, and refreshingly eclectic, Burrell's essays are a timely reminder of the deep and fertile kinship between philosophy and theology. A true gift to people working in either field, Mary Ragan's fine edition is prefaced by intellectual testimonials by three of Burrell's most eminent colleagues.”
