Containing a wide variety of early Christian art, from sources as varied as the Coptic and Celtic traditions and wide-ranging quotations from Christian saints and sages of the first one and a half millennia of Christianity, this book invites the reader to reflect upon the beauty and wisdom of the Christian spirit. The visual and written treasures contained in this volume formed the sacred foundation of the early Church and established a tradition which may even now be traced back to the Gospels. Though specifically Christian in content, the book in hand should provide a source of spiritual inspiration to seekers of all faiths. What is the essential message of the great saints and sages in the first one and a half millennia of Christianity? Is there a unifying doctrine within the different branches of the Christian Church? Are there common spiritual Truths that exist within each of the world's great religions? The gem-like selections of art and writings in Christian Spirit cover the first one and a half millennia of Christianity beginning shortly after the death of the Christ. All spiritual seekers regardless of specific religious affiliation will the inspired by the beauty and wisdom contained in this book.

With an increasing sense of urgency as we enter the 21st Century, we face a mounting environmental crisis. With a profound vision of the sacred quality of creation this collection of beautiful photographs of the natural world combined with commentaries by a host of Christian sages of all denominations, from the origins of Christianity up to the 19th century, provides answers to how we should view the relationship between the Creator and creation as well as understand how the divine activity permeates the entire universe. Linking the environmental crisis to a failure of spiritual vision, SERMON OF ALL CREATION is both testimonial and hymn and it reveals the great reverence for creation which lives in the heart of the Christian tradition.
