This book explores how the Spirit is represented in visual art, but also how the Spirit is at work in and through visual art, in all its forms.

The volume editors and contributors engage visual art from the perspective of pneumatology to give theologies of culture fruitful new perspectives that begin with the Spirit rather than other common theological contact points. The book explores the Spirit’s role in art-making, looks at how the Spirit engages culture through the arts, and shows how the church has historically engaged the Spirit through visual art. Contributors ask how Christian convictions about and experiences of the Spirit might shape the way one thinks about visual art.
