About This Book
arthistorytheologyliterature
Witness the visceral birth of a faith through the masterly etchings of Jan Luyken and the stirring poetry of the Dutch Golden Age. This 1722 masterpiece invites you to look past the stone cathedrals and rediscover a 'Golden Cross-Age' where spiritual fire was forged in the heat of Roman persecution and communal love.
