James Matthew Wilson has written a demanding, powerful, and deeply rewarding recovery of the Christian Platonist tradition. In reweaving the strands of beauty, goodness, and truth for the complex times we now share, he gives renewed life to the Christian intellectual vocation and feeds the nobility of the human soul.
