Publisher's Synopsis
"This book aims to show how the Christian doctrine of Pneumatology can both illuminate and be illuminated by an engagement with the arts. Drawing on specific examples from a wide range of media-music, poetry, visual art, film, and landscape architecture-each chapter seeks to deepen our understanding of a particular name for the Holy Spirit as it relates to the Spirit's distinctive work in the world. Each chapter likewise shows how a concerted engagement with a biblically centered theology of the Holy Spirit can enrich our understanding of art's distinctive capacity to help us to inhabit our world more faithfully and to engage it more. fruitfully"-- Provided by publisher.
