Creativity and Spirituality: Bonds Between Art and Religion

Drawing from six living faiths, this book philosophically analyzes relations between art and religion in order to explain how the concepts ＂art,＂ ＂beauty,＂ ＂creativity,＂ and ＂aesthetic experience＂ find their place or counterparts in religious discourse and experience.
