"This book is a little masterpiece: it informs and it explores,
it recounts history and it provokes a religious quest. It is a
personal book, yet it explores the great questions of theology; it
is full of learning, but not ponderous; it is written from the
perspective of faith, but is not off-putting to the inquirer."
-Thomas O'Loughlin, Professor of Historical Theology University of
Wales Lampeter "Andreopoulos explains the gesture and meaning and
history of why Christianity has needed symbols and signs through
the ages. Throughout, his writing is as inspiriting as a
restorative benediction." -ALA "Booklist" "The book succeeds at
translating the significance of the sign of the Cross into
something personal and immediate." -"Publishers Weekly" "The
Christian of today grows quickly from the innocent child into
adulthood and demands understanding of any simple behavior. 'Why to
sign with the crossing? Where did this practice begin? When and
how?' Andreas Andreopoulos, with his book, helps to answer these
questions.... H]e immerses us into the illuminating obscurity of
the Holy Tradition." -Protopresbyter Kyrillos Leret-Aldir,
"Orthodox Christian Comment"
