How can the arts witness to the transcendence of the Christian God?
Many people believe that there is something transcendent about the arts, that they can awaken a profound sense of awe, wonder, and mystery, of something "beyond" this world--even for those who may have no use for conventional forms of Christianity. In this book Jeremy Begbie--a leading voice on theology and the arts--employs a biblical, Trinitarian imagination to show how Christian involvement in the arts can be shaped by the distinctive vision of God's transcendence opened up in and through Jesus Christ.
