About the Book



Should Christians even bother with modern art? This STA volume gathers the reflections of artists, art historians, and theologians who collectively offer a more complicated narrative of the history of modern art and its place in the Christian life. Readers will find insights on the work and faith of artists like Marc Chagall, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol, and more.



Book Synopsis



Should Christians even bother with the modern wing at the art museum? After all, modern art and artists are often caricatured as rabidly opposed to God, the church--indeed, to faith of any kind. But is that all there is to the story?

In this Studies in Theology and the Arts volume, coeditors Cameron J. Anderson and G. Walter Hansen gather the reflections of artists, art historians, and theologians who collectively offer a more complicated narrative of the history of modern art and its place in the Christian life. Here, readers will find insights on the work and faith of artists including Marc Chagall, Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol, and more.

For those willing to look with eyes of faith, they may just find that God is present in the modern wing too.

The Studies in Theology and the Arts series encourages Christians to thoughtfully engage with the relationship between their faith and artistic expression, with contributions from both theologians and artists on a range of artistic media including visual art, music, poetry, literature, film, and more.



Review Quotes




"In a variety of essays ranging from the personal to the didactic, God in the Modern Wing unpacks the continued challenge and opportunity that modern art, now more than a century old, presents to an audience that can often be dismissive of its possible merits--contemporary Christians. Cameron Anderson, one of the anthology's editors, raises the prospect that his goal is a 'fool's errand.' But the reader who is open to the complexities of modern art as well as belief will find the efforts here a welcome opportunity to reconsider both."

--Randall K. Van Schepen, professor of art and architectural history at Roger Williams University
