This is one of the most highly acclaimed books on religion published in years, from the world's most respected writer on the subject. "Kirkus Reviews" described it as "A miniature masterpiece of biblical exegesis." There are over 2 million Catholics in Britain, for whom the rosary will be a daily practice. It includes specialist mailings, reviews and promotions with Catholic media and organisations. It is stunningly illustrated with four colour reproductions of Tintoretto paintings. The rosary is the symbol of Catholicism and Garry Wills shares his personal practice of it with the reader while meditating on its significance in our age where its rhythmic repetition encourages practitioners to retreat into reflective peace. He reflects on the gospel stories that are used as subjects for contemplation for each section of the rosary beads. This personal and religious study is further enhanced by the author's own translations of Christian scriptures and the inclusion of images from the Renaissance artist, Tintoretto.
