A glorious illustrated history of sixteen of the world's greatest
cathedrals, interwoven with the extraordinary stories of the people
who built them. 'An impeccable guide to the golden age of
ecclesiastical architecture' The Times 'Vivid, colourful and
absorbing' Dan Jones 'An epic ode to some of our most beautiful and
beloved buildings' Helen Carr The emergence of the Gothic in
twelfth-century France, an architectural style characterized by
pointed arches, rib vaults, flying buttresses, large windows and
elaborate tracery, triggered an explosion of cathedral-building
across western Europe. It is this remarkable flowering of
ecclesiastical architecture that forms the central core of Emma
Wells's authoritative but accessible study of the golden age of the
cathedral. Prefacing her account with the construction in the sixth
century of the Hagia Sophia, the remarkable Christian cathedral of
the eastern Roman empire, she goes on to chart the construction of
a glittering sequence of iconic structures, including Saint-Denis,
Notre-Dame, Canterbury, Chartres, Salisbury, York Minster and
Florence's Duomo. More than architectural biographies, these are
human stories of triumph and tragedy that take the reader from the
chaotic atmosphere of the mason's yard to the cloisters of power.
Together, they reveal how 1000 years of cathedral-building shaped
modern Europe, and influenced art, culture and society around the
world.

disappointment. Left exposed on a mountainside, the defenceless
infant Atalanta is left to the mercy of a passing mother bear and

heroes of Greece, Atalanta leaves her forest to join Jason's band

revelatory' Stylist 'Energetic and compelling' Times 'An
illuminating read' Woman & Home 'A story that's impossible to

trusting God.- Personal study needed between meetings- 10 sessions-

These are but two of the multitude of opinions expressed down the ages about the momentus and mysterious crucifixion of Jesus. Warren Wiersbe takes us right back to the scene and shows us how Jesus himself understood the meaning of the cross, why he endured it, and what he actually said as he hung there. It becomes clear that Jesus was confronting cosmic forces. But, more than that, he was accomplishing his Father's purpose that would ultimately affect the destiny of our lives.
