| Summary: | "This most original new book by Rowan Williams sketches out a new theological aesthetic or, put more simply, a new understanding of how human beings open themselves to transcendence." "In describing an aesthetic of transcendence, Dr. Williams draws on three key influences: the French Catholic philosopher Jacques Maritain, the Welsh poet and painter David Jones, and the American novelist and short-story writer, Mary Flannery O'Connor. Rowan Williams fulfills his stated ambition for Christianity to engage with contemporary culture, at least in its more imaginative aspects."--BOOK JACKET. |
