This book is a compilation of reflections on Christianity and the nature of the fulfilled life by Michael Harvey. Most of these essays were originally delivered as sermons or addresses during his teaching career and for Michael’s many friends and former pupils the rediscovery of his stimulating analysis and style will bring much pleasure. For those unfamiliar with his writings a treat awaits. As a linguist, teacher and writer for whom literature, art and architecture are daily companions he brings to his theological interpretations a wealth of literary and artistic references and powerful imagery. It is appropriate that the text is accompanied by many of his own drawings as well as illustrations from his earlier study of churches in the Aude region where Michael and Suse have made their home.
