Rather than reject art and aestheticism, Protestants developed their own aesthetic values, which \u003ci\u003eProtestant Aesthetics and the Arts\u003c\/i\u003e addresses as it identifies and explains the link between theological aesthetics and the arts within a Protestant framework across five-hundred years of history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing essays from an international gathering of leading experts working across a diverse set of disciplines, \u003ci\u003eProtestant Aesthetics and the Arts\u003c\/i\u003e is the first study of its kind, containing essays that address Protestantism and the fine arts (visual art, music, literature, and architecture), and historical and contemporary Protestant theological perspectives on the subject of beauty and imagination. Contributors challenge accepted preconceptions relating to the boundaries of theological aesthetics and religiously determined art; disrupt traditional understandings of periodization and disciplinarity; and seek to open rich avenues for new fields of research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilding on renewed interest in Protestantism in the study of religion and modernity and the return to aesthetics in Christian theological inquiry, this volume will be of significant interest to scholars of Theology, Aesthetics, Art and Architectural History, Literary Criticism, and Religious History. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54238432985432,"sku":"9781032175270","price":56.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781032175270.jpg?v=1777570222","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/protestant-aesthetics-and-the-arts-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
