Bringing together thinkers from philosophy of religion, religious studies, music, art, and film, while drawing on a wealth of phenomenological resources and methods, a team of renowned scholars provide new vantages on the question of how art is an expression of the human desire for God. In three interrelated parts, chapters employ phenomenological tools to propose new ways for speaking of the desire for God. Scholars first draw upon music, sculpture, film, and painting to develop ways of expressing diverse philosophical and religious aspects characteristic of aesthetic experience. The discussion then opens up to examine the mystical and wounded aspects of embodied interface with God. The final part investigates embodied aesthetic praxis in philosophy of religion and religious studies. With several contributions engaging with the embodied, aesthetic experience of underrepresented voices, Art, Desire, and God offers constructive phenomenological bridges across divides of disciplines, aesthetic experiences, and embodied actions.

Academic theology is in need of a new genre. In "Transgressive Devotion" Natalie Wigg-Stevenson articulates a theological vision of that genre as performance art. She argues that theology done as performance art stops trying to describe who God is, and starts trying to make God appear. Recognising that the act of studying theology or practicing ministry is always a performance, where the boundaries between what we see, feel, experience and learn are not just blurred but potentially invisible, Wigg-Stevenson brings together ethnographic theological fieldwork, historical and contemporary Christian theological traditions, and performance artworks themselves. A daring vision of theology which will energise anybody feeling ‘boxed in’ by the discipline, Transgressive Devotion blurs borders between orthodoxy, heterodoxy and heresy to reveal how the very act of doing theology makes God and humanity vulnerable to each other. This is theology which is a liturgy of Divine incantation. In other words: this is theology which is also prayer.

In recent centuries, with the notable exception of Hans Urs von Balthasar, Christian theology has failed to find a proper place for beauty. The Bishop of Oxford, Richard Harries, shows how a biblical faith can give a key place to beauty, and he argues for a distinctively Christian approach to art that is also sensitive to the spiritual dimension in all art. Originally published in 1993, Art and the Beauty of God was selected by Anthony Burgess as his book of the year. This reprinted edition makes Harries eloquent study available again.

This volume serves to fill a lacuna in the literature of the analytic philosophy of religion by relating key philosophical themes to broader aspects of the humanities, such as visual art, literature, and pop culture studies. The essays here range from discussions of the nature of art and religious experience, to the role of art in religious dialogue, and the function of narrative in religious discourse, as well as cultural media and artistic and phenomenological experience.

This book is to reveal to women of all walks of life, no matter what they have been in, or what they have come out of, or what state they are in right now that they may experience the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge and be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. And that they will know that God’s love for them is steadfast, unconditional, unfailing and unmovable. And to enlighten the eyes of their hearts to know the plan, will, purpose, mandate and kingdom destiny that Abba Father has ordained for them before the foundation of the world. And to open their eyes so they may know the hope to which He has called them and the riches of His glorious inheritance that He has for them in His kingdom. God has called them to His kingdom for such a time as this, to place glory, honor and favor on them and to give them an inheritance among the family of God and to use them for His glory. And to help women establish the kingdom in their hearts and make them aware of Jesus Christ redemptive work for their life, and that He was sent to atone for their sins and through His blood and sacrificial life there is forgiveness of sin and that He is the way of eternal salvation. And to inspire women all over the world to know their value and self-worth, that they are priceless jewels and queens who were miraculously and wonderfully made in the image and likeness of God, and they don’t have to settle for anything or any kind of treatment. And they don’t have to compromise or lower their standard to be loved. And to encourage women to come out of sin and out of that abusive and ungodly relationship and come to Jesus, the Bishop and Lover of their soul and let Him love on them, clean them up and heal them with spiritual intimacy because He loves them with an everlasting love. His love for them is real, genuine, eternal, free and without hidden agenda. I want to challenge every woman to stop looking for love in all the wrong places and receive God's agape love through His Son. Jesus is the answer to all of your problems and He will quench your hunger and thirst for love. Once you come taste and see that the Lord is good, loving and kind you will be satisfied. I want to ignite women to rise up and take their rightful place in the kingdom of God as a chayil, strong, loving, noble, vibrant God-fearing kingdom woman who will minister to the Lord and serve Him in spirit and in truth. And be a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto the Lord, which is your reasonable act of spiritual worship. I also want to illuminate biblical understanding to women that it is because of the goodness and lovingkindness of God that they live, move, and have their beings, and because of His compassion and tender mercy that they have not been consume by the devil. And that their bodies are for the Lord and the Lord for the body and encourage women to rise up and come out of Mystery Babylon the Mother of Harlot, come out of sexual slavery, come out of the house of bondage, come out of sexual immorality and sexual uncleanness, come out of perversion and adultery. And receive with meekness the engrafted word of God which is able to save your soul and make you whole and complete. And to admonish women of all backgrounds to take a stand for righteousness, holiness, sexual purity, and receive the word of life and the word of hope that gives them everything pertaining to life and godliness and an eternal future. And to pursue peace and godliness because godliness with contentment is great gain, it's great wealth, it's true riches and brings great profit. Jesus Christ is satisfaction guarantee, He is the way, the truth and the life of God. Women don't be depraved of mind and devoid of the truth, but walk in present truth and be chayil in your sexual character, spirit, soul and body, and set your heart ablaze and ignite a passion to be zealous for spiritual things and to seek the kingdom and God, and be fervent in spirit and love the Lord with all your heart, mind, soul and strength, and love yourself and your neighbor as yourself. This is a clarion call for all women all over the world to come out of darkness into God's marvelous light and to turn from the power of Satan to the power of Jesus Christ and be translated into His kingdom and have a godly, sound, calm, well-balanced and renewed mind, and a transformed, caring, loving and pure heart.

When God died, art was born. With Christ’s crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension, the human imagination began to be remade. In Bezalel’s Body: The Death of God and the Birth of Art, Harvard-trained art historian Katie Kresser locates the historical roots of the thing we call art. She weaves together centuries of art history, philosophy, theology, psychology, and art theory to uncover the deep spiritual foundations of this cultural form. Why do some people pay hundreds of millions of dollars for a single painting? Why are art museums almost like modern temples? The answer lies in Christian theology and the earliest forms of Christian image making. By examining how cutting-edge art trends reveal age-old spiritual dynamics, Kresser helps recover an ancient tradition with vital relevance for today.

There are as many paths to holiness as there are saints in Heaven . . . but you can't follow them all. Yet there's one thing every saint practices that you can imitate: the simple art of loving God, which the beloved St. Francis de Sales explains for you here. Under his wise and gentle guidance, you'll discover the secrets to growing holier through the simple things in life — work, play, and rest. You'll learn to avoid the distractions (even religious distractions) that trouble and weary your soul . . . and you'll soon be able to focus your energy simply on loving God. Listen to the holy words of this saint; take them to heart; make them a part of your life. Soon you'll be well on your way, following that path to Heaven that God, from all eternity, has given you as your very own. St. Francis de Sales himself will teach you the secrets of developing: Patience Trust Modesty Courage Simplicity Humility Obedience Generosity Perseverance Selflessness Gentleness Love of God and other key virtues A note for the skeptical and discouraged: Have you tried to grow closer to God using one technique after another, yet still find you haven't made much progress? That's a common problem in today's world, where devotion has become so complicated that the simple art of loving God has been lost. Don't despair. Generations of Christians have made finding God harder than it need be, which is why, every few hundred years, God sends us a saint like St. Francis de Sales to remind us that anyone can love God and that it's not really so hard to do. Listen to St. Francis, and, no matter how many times you've failed in the past, you'll soon be a master of the art of loving God.
