Visibility

de Kirsten Busch Nielsen, Iben Damgaard, Sven Rune Havsteen, Anna Vind, Christopher B. Brown

This volume reconsiders the relation between visibility and transcendence. The focus is on the contributions to this issue from the theological tradition in protestant Europe between the 16th and the 21st Centuries. A thematically broad field is covered embracing a plurality of methods drawn from theology, philosophy, and the theory of art. In five sub-themes the volueme deals with modes of appearing or hiding of phenomena, the fundamental understand and use of language, with the theological anthropology, the theological discourses behind the religious uses of the different artistic media, and the idea of "vicarious representation". --Back Cover.
