Quels que soient le lieu ou la civilisation que l'on explore, des relations profondes entre religion et art se décèlent. L'art traduit volontiers les aspects des fonctions religieuses, soit dans le cadre organisé d'un rituel, soit plus spontanément, dans l'expression de la foi personnelle ou collective. Les religions font appel aux artistes pour rendre apparent et intelligible l'invisible mais se heurtent souvent à eux en leur imposant des formes. Mais si bien des civilisations ont fait l'objet d'études fouillées sur la manière dont elles articulaient l'art et la religion, force est de constater que très peu de chercheurs se sont attelés à une vue transversale de ces notions. Cet ouvrage s'inscrit dès lors dans une perspective comparative ayant pour but de souligner les diachronies et les spécificités religieuses.

This slim volume offers a thematic exploration of religion and the digital arts. Over the course of six brief sections, this extended essay examines identity and community, authority and authenticity, word and image, ritual and practice, body and space, and myth and faith. Each of these paired sets is explored in concert with technologically inflected correlates. For instance, identity and community are paired with avatars and networks. These twin concepts provide the thematic anchor of each section. Each section looks at four works of digital art with each work employing digital technology in a unique way. The works include virtual and augmented reality pieces, 3D printed sculptures, digital photography, and digitally enabled performance pieces and installations and span the late 1990s to the present. This essay is an introduction to religion and the digital arts and, while no single conclusion can be drawn from such an expansive and diverse field, the reassertion of the religious and theological importance of the body and emotions in the face of digital technology emerges as a recurrent theme.

As an artist, Deborah Sokolove has often been surprised and dismayed by the unexamined attitudes and assumptions that the church holds about how artists think and how art functions in human life. By investigating these attitudes and tying them to concrete examples, Sokolove hopes to demystify art--to bring art down to earth, where theologians, pastors, and ordinary Christians can wrestle with its meanings, participate in its processes, and understand its uses. In showing the commonalities and distinctions among the various ways that artists themselves approach their work, Sanctifying Art can help the church talk about the arts in ways that artists will recognize. As a member of both the church and the art world, Sokolove is well-positioned to bridge the gap between the habits of thought that inform the discourse of the art world and those quite different ideas about art that are taken for granted by many Christians. When art is understood as intellectual, technical, and physical as well as ethereal, mysterious, and sacred, we will see it as an integral part of our life together in Christ, fully human and fully divine.

Eine Skulptur des Künstlers Stephan Balkenhol im Turm der St. Elisabeth-Kirche in Kassel empfand die Leitung der zeitgleich stattfindenden dOCUMENTA (13) als Provokation: das Werk greife massiv in den Rezeptionsraum der eigenen Ausstellung ein. Der Vorwurf löste eine kontroverse Diskussion über die kirchlichen Begleitausstellungen zur documenta aus. Der vorliegende Band beschreibt die umstrittenen kirchlichen Kunstprojekte, die während der verschiedenen documenta-Ausstellungen durchgeführt wurden; er enthält Beiträge von Kunstwissenschaftlern und Theologen zur Kunst von Stephan Balkenhol sowie zur Autonomie der Kunst und ihrem Verhältnis zur Kirche. In einem ausführlichen Gespräch äußert sich Stephan Balkenhol selbst zu seiner Ausstellung in der St. Elisabeth-Kirche und zu der von ihr ausgelösten Kontroverse.

""Sacred gaze"" denotes any way of seeing that invests its object-an image, a person, a time, a place-with spiritual significance. Drawing from many different fields, David Morgan investigates key aspects of vision and imagery in a variety of religious traditions. His lively, innovative book explores how viewers absorb and process religious imagery and how their experience contributes to the social, intellectual, and perceptual construction of reality. Ranging widely from thirteenth-century Japan and eighteenth-century Tibet to contemporary America, Thailand, and Africa, The Sacred Gaze
