+ 2019 Countdown #35: The History, Theology and Symbolism of Cathedrals (full hour)
- Description: The fire at the Cathedral of Notre Dame brought to mind for many the importance of the Cathedral and how its exquisite beauty has impacted so many. There's a real intentionality behind many of the elements of a Gothic Cathedral - they serve symbolic and theological purposes beyond their practical functions. To step inside a Gothic cathedral is to step inside the visual essence of the Christian faith. Dr William Cook takes us on a tours of the great Cathedrals and their importance to the Faith.
