Heaven in Stone and Glass

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.
