A mosaic of green, blue, and red emerges from the clouds when your
plane descends to El Prat Airport. Barcelona--a city of flat
terracotta roofs, encircled with the olive green forests of the
Collserola rolling down to the Mediterranean. From first touching
down in the glass faceted airport to a wander through the textured,
gothic alleyways or a glance at the modernista architecture, you
know you have landed in a city of art. Miro, Gaudi, Dali, and
Picasso all spent time here, and as you meet the locals you
discover that Barcelona is filled with architects, designers, and
artists. This illustrated guide will take you on a creative ride
through the city. Barcelona awaits!
The Anglican Church remains a pillar of the British establishment.
It is the state church, both venerable and dependable - and is
often taken for granted. Yet its history is far from comfortable.
It was born into an age of bloody turmoil, marked by Henry VIII's
divisive secession from Rome in 1534. And between the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries Anglicanism became the bitter battleground
for some of the fiercest contests in Europe over interpretations of
the Bible, liturgy and theology. Reformed or Catholic? Puritan or
Arminian? Bishops or elders? As Euan Cameron reveals, in his
much-anticipated new book, these were among the crucial questions
facing men such as Cranmer, Latimer, Lancelot Andrewes, Laud and
Traherne. In addressing them, the Anglican divines created not just
their own national church but also timeless masterpieces of world
literature such as the Book of Common Prayer, the King James Bible,
Richard Hooker's Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity and the sublime
verse of the scholar-lyricist George Herbert. This `golden age' of
devotional writing was inseparable from the volatile politics of
the age.
