The Book: What is the theological significance of art? Why has the Church always encouraged the arts? What is so profoundly human about the arts? The answer to these questions involves a series of "sketches," a mixed spiritual/theological reflection on various works of art written in a poetic style that should appeal to the professional theologian but is aimed at the informed public. The reflections explore the relationship between the spiritual and the arts in its many dimensions.
