Recenzii
'The theme of this book is unusual and important, and is impressive in its combination of art, philosophy, and religion. Readable, attractive, and interesting, it is an excellent contribution by major scholars to this series.' Keith Ward, University of Roehampton and Christ Church College, Oxford University
'Rich, inventive and multi-layered, Is God Invisible brims with ideas and insights drawn from philosophy and several religious traditions. The comparison between the invisiblility and visibility of God in the world and our own visibility and invisibility to each other through our personal embodiment is highly suggestive. The subsequent discussion of the way works of art can reveal our values and minds, including aspects of a time or culture which, though evident to an all-seeing God, may be hidden to us, is interesting. In sum, a book which will repay study and reflection on many levels.' Anthony O'Hear, University of Buckingham
'This engaging book reflects conversations between the authors - an artist and a philosopher - and with others who offer alternative proposals. A prodigious amount and quality of research establishes the authors' claim that a 'God's eye view,' the 'view from everywhere,' is central to five world religions and secular naturalism, establishing an intimate connection, 'an aesthetic personalism,' at the core of aesthetic and religious experience. Is God Invisible? demonstrates that thinking that God is not a visual object 'does not preclude the idea that God is manifested in visual and other modes of experience.' For the reader, the take-away is enriched and integrated experience that heals the Western tendency to distinguish and thus, in effect to separate religious and aesthetic experience.' Margaret Miles, Emerita Professor of the History of Christianity The Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley
'What does it mean to describe God as invisible? How does this relate to God's transcendence? And in what sense, if any, can God be manifested in experience? Taliaferro and Evans offer an important, timely, and original contribution to these pressing questions, writing with erudition, enthusiasm, and depth, and engaging with a huge variety of thinkers and artists who have engaged with the relevant issues. Their approach is truly interdisciplinary, it cuts across the supposed distinction between analytic and continental philosophy, and it offers a compelling framework in terms of which to comprehend the relation between self and God. This remarkable book is a must-read for anyone interested in philosophy of religion, theology, aesthetics, and the question of life's meaning.' Fiona Ellis, University of Roehampton
'This book offers valuable conceptual resources to challenge the idea that secular worlds are (at least) equal in truth and value to religious worlds.' Clare Carlisle, Times Literary Supplement
'This is an important and creative work which suggests fresh ways to think about how the invisible - whether human or divine persons - can be encountered through what is seen.' Harold A. Netland, Religious Studies Review
