Recensioner i media

"Varied, vigorous, and challenging, this multifaceted work succeeds in making a compelling case for the reviving and sustaining force of the spiritual in contemporary art. The book ranges from theoretical issues to studies of particular artists, and brings together many different strands, each of which offers its own contribution to the sacred in art. Both in its breadth and originality, Reclaiming the Spiritual in Art vividly illuminates the aesthetic power of the sacred." — Arnold Berleant, Long Island University"The best thing about this book is its willingness to question once again the relationship between art and the sacred, a relation that has been too much neglected in contemporary scholarship. The topic is most certainly significant and needs all the attention it can get, and this book gives it some. It is crucially important for literary studies, for philosophy, and for religious studies." — James S. Hans, author of Contextual Authority and Aesthetic Truth
