The Oxford handbook of religion and the arts
Frank Burch Brown (Editor)
More than ever before, scholars recognize that nearly every form of religion or spirituality has a vital connection with art. World religions, from Hinduism to The Eastern Orthodox Church, have a long and rich relationship with an array of artistic traditions. In recent decades, the academic study of religion and the arts has burgeoned. Yet a broad and serious consideration of the topic has yet to reach readers. The first comprehensive book of its kind, 'The Oxford Handbook of Religion and the Arts' provides expert guidance to artistry and aesthetic theory in religion
