Recensioner i media

"for those who have an interest in medieval theological reflection on sacramental analogies of craft and spiritual transformation, or for a Christian imagination that values the senses instead of a merely cerebral understanding of liturgy and liturgical space, this book would be a welcome survey of Christian materiality."— Pachomius Meade, American Benedictine Review , 2025
