Recenzii

A serene, beautiful, and enlarging book.
[One] would be hard pressed to enter into the theology and arts discussion . . . without heeding the insights of this study.
A profoundly useful book that should set the stage for future discussion in this important area of theology and culture.
An important book, wide ranging, often very witty, refreshingly undogmatic in its approach to both art and religion, and showing an impressive grasp of the current state of aesthetics and possible new directions.

In this groundbreaking work, Brown shows how aesthetics, no less than ethics, can play a central role in the study of religion and in the practice of theology. "An important book, wide ranging, often very witty . . . showing an impressive grasp of the current state of aesthetics and possible new directions".--Nick McAdoo, British Journal of Aesthetics.
