Two artists. Two eras. One shared vision of the sacred hidden in the ordinary.
When Canadian singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn first picked up a novel by Charles Williams-the most mystical and least understood member of the Inklings-he discovered a kindred spirit. Williams' strange, luminous theology resonated with Cockburn's own experiences of the holy breaking into daily life, sparking a creative season that shaped some of the most iconic songs of his career.
In Shadows of Ecstasy & Rumours of Glory, John R. Mabry traces the deep and surprising connections between these two unlikely companions. With clarity, warmth, and a scholar's insight, he explores:
- How Williams' visionary ideas-co-inherence, romantic theology, substituted love-illuminate Cockburn's lyrics
- Why both artists saw the world as charged with divine presence
- Where moments of mystical "inbreaking" echo across novels and songs
- How the lives of two flawed, brilliant men reveal a shared longing for transformation
Part literary study, part theological meditation, and part celebration of artistic imagination, this book invites readers into a conversation between two extraordinary creators-one that leads us to look again at our own world with new attention, new wonder, and new hope.
Whether you're an admirer of Cockburn's music, a student of the Inklings, or simply a lover of spiritually rich art, this is a journey you won't want to miss.
