"In recent centuries, with the notable exception of Hans Urs von Balthasar, Christian theology has failed to find a proper place for beauty. Richard Harries shows how a biblical faith can give a key place to it, and he argues for a distinctively Christian approach to art which is also sensitive to the spiritual dimension in all art". -- back cover.

"[A]t the heart of this book are some of the real feelings which lead people to react negatively to the Christian faith, feelings that are not always articulated. I am concerned with the moral, emotional and spiritual reasons why people find themselves unable to believe or even totally alienated from Christian beliefs. Apart from the problems of suffering, which continues to be the great barrier to faith, and which I discuss in the final chapter, I suspect that behind the philosophical doubts or reasons drawn from the spurious clash of science and religion, there are inchoate feelings of dislike or rejection that have to do with other things altogether." -- Intro., p. xi.
