Art and the Beauty of God: A Christian Understanding

by Richard Harries

Art and the Beauty of God: A Christian Understanding Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

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.<P>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.
