A Natural Theology of the Arts contends that the arts are
theological by their very nature and not simply when they are
explicitly religious - thereby constituting a distinctive kind of
'natural theology'. Borrowing from science the stance of 'critical
realism' to justify truth claims in art and theology, it argues
that works of art are complex metaphors that convey the 'real
presence' of God, even when not labelled as such. Citing numerous
examples from literature, painting, and music - including
Shakespeare's King Lear, Vermeer's Young Woman with a Water Jug,
Rembrandt's Return of the Prodigal Son, and Stephen Cleobury's
experiences performing Bach's St Matthew Passion and Britten's
Rejoice in the Lamb - the author concludes that works of art
anticipate the new creation, thereby suggesting a Trinitarian
account of the God present in the creation and reception of such
works.
