Heaven In Stone And Glass

(87 minutes) Just beyond the doors of Europe’s Gothic cathedrals, light pours through colored glass, stone soars toward heaven, and something stirs deep within the human soul. Millions of pilgrims and tourists visit cathedrals each year, sensing in rose windows and sacred imagery a transcendent beauty that the secular world cannot explain. In Heaven in Stone and Glass, Bishop Robert Barron—bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester, founder of Word on Fire, and host of the acclaimed CATHOLICISM series—journeys across France to explore sacred mysteries built into the crown jewels of Gothic architecture: Chartres, Notre- Dame, Reims, Amiens, and Saint-Denis. With characteristic clarity and theological depth, Bishop Barron reveals what sacred architecture has proclaimed for centuries—that God is not distant but weaves his revelation into the very fabric of creation. • Added Value Description: (6 minutes) A behind-the-scenes, mini-documentary style interview with Reverend Stephen E. Grunow, CEO and Executive Producer of Word on Fire, about the history, development, and creation of Heaven in Stone and Glass.
