Ep 273: Stones of Flesh and Blood — The Buf Reviews "The Stones of the Abbey"
Rafe got a great Christmas gift: the book "The Stones of the Abbey", by Fernand Pouillon. He's reviewing it for you this week on the Buf.
This historical fiction account tells the story of a master building an abbey in Provence in France in the late 1100s. Through dated journal entries, he tells the story of the beginning of the construction of the Abbey of Le Thoronet in southeastern France.
Lessons about concerning masonry and framing and quarrying and smithing and all sorts of things associated with building in the middle ages but most of all, this book is a philosophy text, examining Man's role as a creator in his manifestation as Imago Dei.
