商品簡介
Shining an illuminating light on the intertwined dynamics of art and religion, Tsakiridou (philosophy, La Salle U.) offers a clear-minded and clearly articulated investigation into a complexity of themes. She starts with the need to redefine the Christian image, discusses enargeia and key concepts, and then examines various aspects of theology and art (e.g. modernism, iconoclasm, theological fallacies, Jacques Maritain); orthodox iconology (asceticism, mystical lives, St. John Damascene, Byzantine experience); and theophany. The final chapter is on transcendence in Zen art. Color and b&w plates support the text. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
