This book analyzes the role that the physical body plays in
foundational Mormon doctrine, and claims that such an analysis
reveals a model of empathy that has significant implications for
the field of Mormon aesthetics. This volume achieves three main
goals: It elucidates the Mormonism's relationship with the body, it
illuminates Mormonism's traditional approaches to understanding and
appreciating art, and it suggests that the body as Mormonism
conceives of it allows for the employment of an aesthetic framework
rooted in bodily empathy rather than traditional Christian or
Mormon moral values per se. In support of this argument, several
chapters of the book apply Mormonism's theology of the body to
paintings and poems by contemporary Mormon artists and writers. An
examination of those works reveals that the seeds of a new Mormon
aesthetic are germinating, but have yet to significantly shift
traditional Mormon thought regarding the role and function of art.
