Christian Art and Wisdom and Other Fine Things, a unique religious mail order company, was begun in January 2000 in Sydney, Australia "in apt response to the particular needs of the Christian community and in realisation of the great importance of literature and the arts in human life."

"In order to communicate the message entrusted to her by Christ, the Church needs art. Literature which uses endless images and their symbolic force imitates Christ who made extensive use of images in His preaching. Beauty (which can be found in all wholesome things) brings joy to the human heart. Above all it reflects in some way the infinite beauty of God and raises people's minds to Him."

(Pope John Paul II, Letter to Artists, 1999)
