The field of 'art and religion' is fast becoming one of the most
dynamic areas of religious studies. Uniquely, "The Art of the
Sacred" explores the relationship between religion and the visual
arts - and vice versa - within Christianity and other major
religious traditions. It identifies and describes the main
historical, theological, sociological and aesthetic dimensions of
'religious' art, with particular attention to 'popular' as well as
'high' culture, and within societies of the developing world. It
also attempts to locate, and predict, the forms and functions of
such art in a changing contemporary context of obligation,
modernity, secularism and fundamentalism. The author concentrates
on four chief dimensions where religious art and religious belief
converge: the iconographic; the didactic; the institutional; and
the aesthetic. This clear, well-organised and imaginative treatment
of the subject should prove especially attractive to students of
religion and visual culture, as well as to artists and art
historians.
