课程介绍：
This course will explore the place of art in the Christian
tradition, looking at
examples from a wide variety of disciplines – from painting, sculpture and poetry to music, fiction and film – and from
different periods of history. It will
investigate the distinctive themes and
aspects of the Christian imagination as
faith engages creatively with a world of
beauty and brokenness, of shame and
glory, of suffering and hope..
