Sacred in Life and Art

We are becoming increasingly aware that the forms of our life and art have over the last few centuries been characterized by the progressive loss of precisely that sense which gives virtually all other civilizations and cultures of the world their ubdying lustre and significance. This book is an attempt to clarify what is demanded if we are to have a chance of achieving this. It examines the nature and significance of the sacred itself, why the sense of its presence has been so disastrously eroded from our conciousness over recent centuries.
