| Publisher Description: In this course, Father Kirby takes a look at the history and artwork of St. Peter s square and basilica through the light of faith. Beginning with a study of the man from whom the church building takes its name, this comprehensive tour explains why St. Peter s basilica was significant to the early Christians, and why it is still significant today. Given in light of the New Evangelization, this tour is not just a tour of Rome s essential history and its artistic masterpieces, but rather one that begs a certain spiritual awareness. St. Peter s is a sacred place, and its basilica is like a living catechism, inspiring us to ask ourselves profound questions and deepen our faith. |
