This course explores the various ways in which art and faith can intersect by comparing two
important strands within theological aesthetics, the first focussing on art as a bridge to the
spiritual and transcendence, the other on the way art articulates human lived experience.
Students will explore what different traditions can learn from each other with a view towards
developing a better understanding of the nature of art and the role of faith in religious and
non-religious artistic practices.
