The Art of the Sacred
by
Graham Howes
The field of 'art and religion' is
fast becoming one of the most dynamic areas of religious studies.
Uniquely, "The Art of the Sacred" explores the relationship between
religion and the visual arts—and vice versa—within Christianity and
other major religious traditions. It identifies and describes the
main historical, theological, sociological and aesthetic dimensions
of 'religious' art, with particular attention to 'popular' as well
as 'high' culture, and within societies of the developing world.
