Theology
Abundantly More The Theological Promise of the Arts in a Reductionist World Jeremy S. Begbie In a culture that so often seems to shrink and flatten our vision, the arts can break our imaginations open. In conversation with multiple art forms, Jeremy Begbie helps us see this world and ourselves as infinitely richer than we could ever imagine: as created and redeemed by the inexhaustible love of God. “Begbie articulates a creative, constructive pneumatology that deepens our understanding of the resonance between theology and the arts. A remarkable achievement that breaks new ground.” —James K. A. Smith, Calvin University “A quietly devastating critique of the engrained reductionist tendencies in Western modernity and an inspiring manifesto for the fundamental value of the arts as part of what makes us human.” —Bettina Varwig, University of Cambridge
