Contributes to raising awareness about the intrinsic value of images and image perception among those who wish to reflect over God and over pictorial expressions of different experiences from encounters with divinity in earthly and historical situations. This work offers important perspectives for a cross-cultural art theology.
Icons provide depictions of God or encounters with the divine that enable reflection and prayer. ''In the Beginning is the Icon'' explores the value of these images for a theology of liberation. Iconology, art theory, philosophical aesthetics, art history and anthropology are integrated with rigorous theological reflection to argue that the creation and observation of pictures can have a liberating effect on humanity. In presenting art from across the world, ''In the Beginning is the Icon'' reflects the ethnocentricity of both art and religious studies and offers a new cross-cultural approach to the theology of art.
