Sister Wendy's Nativity

Irresistibly charming, Sister Wendy Beckett is recognized world wide as one of today's most astute art critics. Now in this elegantly packaged and lavishly illustrated volume, she has carefully chosen exquisite images from illumunated manuscripts, from both the Vatican and the Italian State Libraries, and examines their importance in their depictions of Christ's birth and life. Her commentary is both revealing and and inspirational, and it is offered in the trademark Sister Wendy fashion-her religious beliefs are held separate from her criticism, so that readers are enlightened artisically and allowed to draw their own spiritual conclusions. As the new millenium approaches and many seek to rediscover their spiritual side, Sister Wendy's Nativity is a magnificent addition to everyone''s library.
