This book invites Christian artists, theologians, and everyone curious about faith and creativity into a new conversation: art as theology in action. Drawing on fine-art practice-based research, Pavlína Kasparová argues that artists do much more than illustrate theology--they generate it. Theology needs the art world's full force: its imagination, material practice, visual language, and creative discipline.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHer pioneering methodology, \u003ci\u003eart as living theology\u003c\/i\u003e, offers a step-by-step navigator through creative practice into theological reflection and human development. Whether painting, teaching, preaching, curating, or reflecting, this book shows how a creative practice becomes theological inquiry. Artists matter--not just for church walls, but for the church's life and the world's formation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePavlína Kasparová is a Czech Dominican Sister, artist, and researcher.
