Theology, Modernity, and the Visual Arts
This volume brings together the research mounted throughout the Theology, Modernity, and Visual Arts Project, one of the project wings of the wider Theology, Modernity, and the Arts project. Theologians, biblical scholars, art historians, and curators explore modern and contemporary artists from Pablo Picasso to Kent Monkman and Paul Cézanne to Cornelia Parker, addressing questions of theory, practice, and interpretation. Their contributions are orientated by an enquiring and critical focus on how modern and contemporary visual art coexists with, counters, illuminates, and serves Christianity. The volume was launched on July 9, 2024, during the final gathering of the Theology, Modernity, and Visual Arts project.
