Description
In a series of analysis dealing with issues of basic human concern such as love, hope, joy, beauty, desire, suffering, evil, and death, Steven DeLay articulates an existence of faith in Christ. With attention to the Bible and works of art (Caravaggio, Dore, Pissarro, Poussin, Rembrandt, and Rodin), DeLay explores the depths of the human experience, offering a descriptive account of our personal encounter with God. A contribution to the longstanding tradition of edifying Christian works, In the Spirit extols the glory of being human in light of God's word.
Reviews / Votes
'As much a work of philosophy and theology as art-criticism, In the Spirit invites the reader into an exercise of searing attention, where pressing topics of life and faith are considered with a sophistication, creativity, and seriousness that is truly invigorating. DeLay's unique voice and uncompromising vision herald an author who looks to make an original and lasting impact on discussions of religion and spirituality. This beautiful book is an awakening.' -- Ryan S. Kemp, Author of Reason and Conversion in Kierkegaard and the German IdealistsMore details
