Religious Authority and the Arts

Conversations in Political Theology

Edición de la obra Religious Authority and the Arts

"The transcripted conversations that represent the substance of this volume are the result of a research project funded by the United Kingdom's Arts and Humanities Research Council. The product of nearly three years of interviews conducted with senior religious figures from a diversity of religious traditions, this book represents a physical and political-theological journey around England - from metropolitan capital through provincial cities and rural hinterlands, from rural episcopal palaces to industrial estates, from London mansion houses to remote mountain monastery - and provides a snapshot fo how religious leaders and authority figures respond to contemporary issues of freedom of expression. Religious authority and the arts has a substantial introduction that situates the conversations within a theological, political, and cultural framework." -- Back cover.
