This book explores several aspects of the relation between theology and aesthetics in both the pastoral and academic realms. The underlying motif of the book is that beauty is a means of divine revelation and that art is the human mediation that both enables and limits its revelatory power.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Richard Viladesau</note> <subject> <topic>Theology</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Christianity and the arts</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Aesthetics -- Religious aspects -- Christianity</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">261.57</classification> <classification authority="ddc">V695-R51</classification> <identifier type="isbn">9780809139279, 0809139278</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15291/18.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/15291/18.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071449.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
