TH 208 - Theology and the Arts: A Global History

(3.00 cr.)

Surveys the shifting relationship between Christian theology and the arts over the past 2000 years. Using a historical framework, this course asks three main questions: First, how have Christian theologians understood (and argued about) the arts? Second, how have artists from different times and regions attempted to convey theological meaning through visual arts, music, and/or architecture? Finally, how have the arts been used to challenge Christian theology? Includes one museum visit.
