REDEEMING TRANSCENDENCE IN THE ARTS

How can the arts witness to the transcendence of the Christian God?Many people believe that there is something transcendent about the arts, that they can awaken aprofound sense of awe, wonder, and mystery, of something “beyond” this world—even for those who may have no use for conventional forms of Christianity. In this book Jeremy Begbie—aleading voice on theology and the arts—employs abiblical, Trinitarian imagination to show how Christian involvement in the arts can be shaped by the distinctive vision of God’s transcendence opened up in and through Jesus Christ.
