At a time when religion and science are thought to be at
loggerheads, art is widely hailed as religion's natural spiritual
ally. Philosophy, Art, and Religion investigates the extent to
which this is true. It charts the way in which modern conceptions
of 'Art' often marginalize the sacred arts, construing choral and
instrumental music, painting and iconography, poetry, drama, and
architecture as 'applied' arts that necessarily fall short of the
ideal of 'art for art's sake'. Drawing on both history of art and
philosophical aesthetics, Graham sets out the historical context in
which the arts came to free themselves from religious patronage, in
order to conceptualize the cultural context in which religious art
currently finds itself. The book then relocates religious art
within the aesthetics of everyday life. Subsequent chapters
systematically explore each of the sacred arts, using a wide range
of illustrative examples to uncover the ways in which artworks can
illuminate religious faith, and religious content can lend artworks
a deeper dimension.
