Good Taste, Bad Taste, and Christian Taste - Aesthetics in Religious Life (Paperback)

The proper role of art in worship and spirituality is a topic of lively debate. There is a wide range of opinion, for example, concerning what types of artistic productions are appropriate for inclusion in a Christian worship service, or whether certain popular Christain images should be deplored as "kitch". Brown addresses both practical and theoretical questions regarding Christian taste: What is the relation between church and the rest of culture? What is wrong (or right) with importing into a house of worship various kinds of music and media that are worldly in origin? By exploring the complex relation between taste, religious imagination, and faith, Brown hopes ultimately to offer a new perspective on what it means to be spiritual, religious, and indeed Christian.
