Art as a Living Theology: Exploring Artists' Vocation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798385247769)

What if art were not a sideline to theology--but its partner in discovery? This book invites Christian artists, theologians, and everyone curious about faith and creativity into a new conversation: art as theology in action. Drawing on fine-art practice-based research, Pavlína Kasparová argues that artists do much more than illustrate theology--they generate it. Theology needs the art world's full force: its imagination, material practice, visual language, and creative discipline.

Her pioneering methodology, art as living theology, offers a step-by-step navigator through creative practice into theological reflection and human development. Whether painting, teaching, preaching, curating, or reflecting, this book shows how a creative practice becomes theological inquiry. Artists matter--not just for church walls, but for the church's life and the world's formation.
