Second Spring

Don't miss out on the most recent issue of our journal of faith and culture, Second Spring. The current issue is devoted to the theme of Sacred Vessels – including the Holy Grail featured in this tapestry by the Pre-Raphaelite Edward Burne-Jones. Leonie Caldecott opens with an article on Mary, the Church, and the Holy Face. Duncan Stroik looks at the history of the Tabernacle. The Orthodox writer Vladimir Zelinsky looks at the meanings of the human heart and Michael Martin at the writings of Solovyev, Dame Margaret Truran at the musical setting of the Psalms, Sr Margaret Atkins at Gerard Manley Hopkins, Fr Jerome Bertram at the chalice used in the Mass, and Keith Lemna at the essence of human freedom. In addition to this we have our usual poetry, book reviews, and reports, while Stratford and Leonie Caldecott sum up twenty years' experience of the "evangelization of culture." Voted (by us) the best journal of its kind in the world, Second Spring is available through Thomas More College in the United States or by credit card, or directly from the Oxford office.
