Description

The dynamic relationship between art and theology continues to fascinate and to challenge, especially when theology addresses art in all of its variety. In Architecture and Theology: The Art of Place, writer Murray Rae turns to the spatial arts, especially architecture, to analyze how the art forms engaged within the construction of our built environment relate to Christian faith.
 
Rae does not offer a theology of the spatial arts, but as a substitute engages in a sustained theological conversation with the spatial arts. Since the spatial arts are public, visual, and communal, they wield an important but easily overpassed influence. Architecture and Theology overcomes this inattention by offering new ways of enthusiastic about the theological importance of space and place within the enjoy of God, the relation between freedom and law in Christian life, the transformation all for God’s promised new creation, biblical anticipation of the heavenly city, divine presence and absence, the architecture of repentance and remorse, and the relation between space and time. In doing so, Rae finds an ample place for theology amidst the architectural arts.
