TMST 8571 Theological Aesthetics
This course is a study of the mystery of God from the perspective ofaestheticsand art. In other words, we will try to understand Gods saving presence and action in our lives, in the world, and in history, based on the transcendental and liberating experience of art, and we will try to speak about God who has revealed Gods self in Christ using aesthetic categories. We will also explore different ways to establish a conversational relationship between theology and the arts.
