Reviews

'A lively, articulate and genuinely thought-provoking publication ' - Jewish Renaissance 'I highly recommend this text, a brilliant introduction to the `intersection' of art and religion today ... Chapters are brief, but they brim with alluring examples that invite a deeper enquiry and engagement ... a delectable entree into contemporary art and religion ' - Art & Christianity 'Spending time with the artists in this book is like walking through an ambitious, perceptively curated, global art exhibition on this immensely important subject' - Third Way 'A timely introduction to art that engages with spirituality today, and a corrective to the notion of contemporary artists as godless marauders on a quest to offend' - Apollo 'If you thought that in our modern culture the relationship between art and religion was about only blasphemy and shock, this is a book to persuade you otherwise' - The Times
