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: Experience the Spirituality of the Gothic Cathedrals with Bishop Barron, journey 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--bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester, founder of Word on Fire, and host of the acclaimed CATHOLICISM series--reveals what sacred architecture has proclaimed for centuries: God is not distant but weaves His revelation into the very fabric of creation.

Maura 24 min ago Beautifully filmed and narrated by Bishop Barron. He takes you on this journey through the cathedrals discussing how the great architecture brings you closer to God. The labyrinths, stain glass , architectural and mathematical design all lead to the creator. See more James 1 hr ago Phenomenal - Bishop Barron is such a master at delivering such broad subjects in a concise, intelligent, and engaging manner that I believe anyone can find appealing. Whether one is Catholic or not (yet :) ), if you have any interest in the background of these beautiful buildings so near and dear to the Christian and Western heart - and to the wider world - highly, highly, highly recommend!!! See more Scott Dockins 1 hr ago Logic, Maths, Numbers-in-Space, History, the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of humanity --- all converged under Providence and in the medieval mind to call forth Heaven in Stone and Glass. For what reason? To call us forth to our God. See more Pete 1 hr ago The architecture of each church was magnificently captured and explained. There were times though that it was not clear which church was being discussed . See more Monica Floreani 2 hrs ago To visit these breathtaking cathedrals through a mind as brilliant as Bishop a Barrons is a delightfully edifying experience! It drives home the genius and boldness of the faithful medievals compared to the tenuous reach we extend God as a culture today. Eye opening but also inspires the will to do and be better for the honor and glory of God. See more Sean Popejoy 2 hrs ago Every Christain should see this!!! See more Read all reviews
