The ‘Abrahamic Faiths’ in their
History of Reception
Part 1: Biblical traditions in Western
art and culture
This course will introduce students to how
Christian faith has found expression in the
history of art. It will thus provide an introduction
to the growing field of theology and the arts.
The focus will be on major art-historical epochs
and relevant Christian themes in art, including
the Renaissance, baroque, romanticism and
modern art. The role of the imagination in
religion and art will be reflected upon and the
role of the artist in society and their relationship
with the church will be discussed. It will also
include a session whereby students will share
and discuss their favourite works of art from a
theological angle.
