Synopsis

In Visio Divina, a theology of the visual begins to emerge from the experience of practicing artists. Its articles preserve discussions among participants from an online course on faith and visual art at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific's Center for Anglican Learning & Leadership. Written by participants in the course, Visio Divina includes the course's lectures on art, community, sensory perception, and theological aesthetics. Participant essays consider art as ministry and vocation, disclose personal stories of faith, and critique art that is both explicitly and implicitly "religious."
