Description: ""One of the great joys of the academic life is to pay
homage in a Festschrift to a scholar who has influenced both
colleagues and students over years of interaction and friendship
both professional and personal. This volume honors a scholar and
theologian of historical theology, a theorist and a practitioner of
religion and the arts, and a keen analyst of cultural trends both
ancient and modern. . . . "" Margaret R.] Miles's prodigious
production as a scholar has legendary qualities. Her dozen-plus
books alone explore history, patristics, ancient philosophy, art
and art history, spiritual formation and religious practice,
critical theory, film, ethics and values, personal growth, gender
and women's studies, as well as her true academic loves, Augustine
and Plotinus. . . . The breadth and depth of her own work and her
influence upon others demands an expansive volume, which the
editors of this Festschrift unfortunately had to restrict to four
categories--Historical Theology, Religion and Culture, Religion and
Gender, and Religion and the Visual Arts--in order to capture the
heart of our appreciation for her."" --from the Introduction About
