520			_aRemarkably little attention has been paid by theologians recently, especially in the Protestant tradition, to the world of the arts. This is surprising given the universality of art in human culture and the prominence of the arts in most streams of Christian worship. This book is an attempt to show what light can be shed on artistic activity by Christian theology. It arises out of the conviction that the arts constitute a vitally important field for theologians to be exploring today and one in which they have an invaluable contribution to make. Dr. Begbie discusses the strengths and weaknesses of earlier theological interpretations of the arts. Particular attention is given to Paul Tillich and the Dutch Neo-Calvinist tradition. He explains why the arts have become so marginalized in society today. He goes on to explore how our understanding of the world of the arts might be enhanced by a more Christ-centred approach and to suggest that there are resources inherent in Trinitarian theology which will help us forge new ways ahead for the renewal of the arts in our time.
