Tabla de Contenidos:
- 1. Christian Art: A Visual Gospel for a Visual Culture Christian art is a beautiful manifestation of faith and, for this reason, it plays a crucial and powerful role in the Church’s work of evangelization. 2. The Theological Foundations of Christian Art The value of Christian art flows from the theology of the Incarnation: the belief that by becoming man, God was made visible and knowable within the material world. 3. The Anthropological Foundations of Christian Art Because human beings are physical and spiritual, visible and material beauty can lead men and women towards the invisible realities of God. 4. The Witness of Christian Art in History The history of Christian art, standing as a “memory of beauty,” testifies today to the flourishing life of the Faith through the centuries. 5. Rediscovering Christian Art in Our Contemporary Visual Culture Christian art holds great educational and spiritual importance—particularly for the evangelization of the youth—in today’s “visual age.” 6. John Paul II's Letter to Artists A Call to the Vocation of Beauty In his Letter to Artists, Pope John Paul II emphasizes art’s capacity to serve as a dialogue of beauty between the faith of the Church and the secular world. 7. Lectio Divina: A Christian Guide to Art Appreciation We gain a deeper understanding of Christian art as a “visual gospel” when a work of sacred or religious art is approached through the four steps of lectio divina. 8. General Principles for Discerning Beauty and Interpreting Christian Art Viewing a work of Christian art with the “eyes of faith” leads to a deep and authentic appreciation of its beauty and understanding of its place within the living tradition of the Church.
