He also demonstrates how engaging the arts in light of a trinitarian imagination (which itself opposes reductionism) fosters a distinctive manner of witnessing to and participating in God's life and purposes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheologians, artists, and anyone intrigued by the intersections of these fields will find abundant resources in this book and discover the critical role the arts can play in preserving our culture's openness to the possibility of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 666g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 x 15 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781540965431\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jeremy S.
