Our Distance from God: Studies of the Divine and the Mundane in Western Art and Music
Hardbound
2008 · Berkeley
by Herbert, James D.
Berkeley: University of California Press, 2008. Hardbound. VG/VG- with very slight shelf wear to dj, but no edge wear. Black cloth with gold lettering on spine; grey dj with color photograph and white lettering; 198 pp. with numerous bw and color images, numbered by section. In this provacative encounter between reflections on Christian theology and the history of music and art, James D. Herbert explores how specific works of art establish a relation, at times distant, at times proximate, in conflict or in accord, between the divine and the earthbound audiences for whom the art was created.
