Beauty and Meaning: The T. S. Eliot Lectures of the Most Reverend Anthony Bloom

Description:

Beauty and Meaning publishes, for the first time, the sixteenth T. S. Eliot Memorial Lectures, written and delivered by The Most Reverend Metropolitan Anthony Bloom

  • Never before published lectures from one of the foremost writers on Orthodox spirituality of the last hundred years
  • A profound blend of literature and spirituality
  • Foreword by Rowan Williams

Beauty and Meaning publishes, for the first time, the sixteenth T. S. Eliot Memorial Lectures, written and delivered by The Most Reverend Metropolitan Anthony Bloom at the University of Kent, Canterbury, United Kingdom, on consecutive evenings from the 1st to the 4th of November 1982. The first lecture addresses Meaning, and the ways we relate to things only insofar as they mean something to us. In the second and third lectures, Metropolitan Anthony discusses Beauty and its moral characteristics. The fourth lecture considers Ugliness, its significance and creative potential. These remarkable texts recall the profound spiritual wisdom, the wit and the compassion, of one of the twentieth century’s greatest writers and broadcasters on the Christian life. The book is enhanced with a Foreword by former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, and helpful footnotes by the collection’s editor, James Heywood.

Review

‘This book has all the characteristic strengths of Metropolitan Anthony’s writing; it is lively and sometimes witty, relaxed and conversational, but also insistently challenging, even uncompromising … It offers a profoundly valuable bridge between the world of faith and the world of contemporary thought and perception, a model of generous, intelligent dialogue.’ --Rowan Williams

About the Author

Metropolitan Anthony Bloom was appointed vicar of the Russian patriarchal parish in London in 1950, consecrated as Bishop in 1957 and Archbishop in 1962, in charge of the Russian Orthodox Church in Great Britain and Ireland. In 1963 he was appointed Exarch of the Moscow Patriarchate in Western Europe, and in 1966 was raised to the rank of Metropolitan. He was perhaps best known as a writer and broadcaster on prayer and the Christian life. Among his acclaimed works are the books Living Prayer, School for Prayer and God and Man.
