T&T Clark Handbook of Theology and the Arts (Hardcover)

Introducing readers to the conversation between Christian theology and the arts, this handbook offers a survey of the current research in this field, and opens avenues for future work. Across the chapters there is a concern for the cultural and political embeddedness of theology and the arts, the relationship between form and content (in both art and theology), and a robust understanding of the world as the theater of God's glory. A thorough-going commitment to Scripture is also woven into the many different habits of thought that are represented in this volume. Part I surveys different approaches to the theology-arts conversation. Part II focuses on how particular art forms bringing theological issues to the surface and how theological and denominational traditions shape the making and receiving of the arts. Part III delves into key topics in the current theology-arts scene and asks how artistic and theological performance can both speak to theological and artistic knowing and help to celebrate and interrogate embodied, lived reality. Overall, this volume presents the theology-arts conversation from a distinctly Christian perspective, as a witness of the gospel of Christ to the world.
