Between the Image and the Word: Theological Engagements with Imagination, Language and Literature de Trevor Hart

Between the Image and the Word: Theological Engagements with Imagination, Language and Literature: Routledge Studies in Theology, Imagination and the Arts

Autor Trevor Hart
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 sep 2013
The central contention of Christian faith is that in the incarnation the eternal Word or Logos of God himself has taken flesh, so becoming for us the image of the invisible God. Our humanity itself is lived out in a constant to-ing and fro-ing between materiality and immateriality. Imagination, language and literature each have a vital part to play in brokering this hypostatic union of matter and meaning within the human creature. Approaching different aspects of two distinct movements between the image and the word, in the incarnation and in the dynamics of human existence itself, Trevor Hart presents a clearer understanding of each and explores the juxtapositions with the other. Hart concludes that within the Trinitarian economy of creation and redemption these two occasions of ’flesh-taking’ are inseparable and indivisible.

Recenzii

’Hart is at his best (which is very good) when he is elucidating a central Christian idea by drawing on the work of imaginative writers...anyone interested in theological aesthetics will find much to reflect on in this book.’ Theology ’The fourteenth century poet Petrarch, in one of his letters, posed this rhetorical question: What is theology if not poetry about God? In this collection of illuminating essays, grounded in an excursus on the inevitable character of theological language as thinkers from Aquinas to Ricoeur have understood it, Trevor Hart explores with insight and verve the theological potential in verbal and visual imagery (ut picture poesis). The result is a highly stimulating contribution to reflection on the nature of theology itself as well as on its fruitful dance among the arts.’ David Jeffrey, Baylor University Waco, USA ’This is a work of serious and profound theological reflection which takes entirely seriously - as theology itself all too often fails to do - the place of the imagination in religious thought and life. While rooted in a constant return to the Christological, it ranges over wide sea of theological themes and theologians, at the same time bringing into the conversation creative writers such from Dorothy Sayers to J.R.R. Tolkien and Shusaku Endo. The relationship between Christian theology and the arts is ever shifting and creative and Professor Hart's work is a major contribution to that on-going and lively dialogue.’ David Jasper, University of Glasgow, UK
