Abundantly More The Theological Promise of the Arts in a Reductionist World Jeremy S. Begbie In a culture that 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. “A remarkable achievement that breaks new ground.” —JAMES K. A. SMITH, Calvin University; editor in chief, Image “Begbie achieves a remarkable double feat: 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
Jeremy S. Begbie (PhD, University of Aberdeen) is Thomas A. Langford Distin- guished Research Professor of Theology and McDonald Agape Director of Duke Initiatives in Theology and the Arts at Duke Divinity School.
