While the average person rarely sees it, the visual arts play a
subtle yet profound role in the teaching and formation of faith,
both for individuals and religious communities. "The Substance of
Things Seen explores the intersection of art and faith, offering
thoughtful reflections on the way art functions in Christian life
and practice.
Highly readable and featuring instructive illustrations, this
book is meant to engage church leaders as well as artists in
constructive conversation about the critical role that art can play
in the renewal of Christian education, worship, and study. It also
challenges anyone who thinks the arts are only of marginal
importance to the religious life. Robin Jensen considers here a
broad range of topics relevant to Christian faith and culture,
including the construction of sacred space, the use of art in
worship and spiritual formation, the way that visual art interprets
sacred texts, and the power and danger of art from a historical and
contemporary perspective.
