musical composition created in the absence of God? Or,
is God always a real presence in the arts? Steiner
passionately argues that a transcendent reality grounds
all genuine art and human communication.

"A real tour de force. . . . All the virtues of the
author's astounding intelligence and compelling rhetoric
are evident from the first sentence onward."—Anthony C.
