دین و هنر پیوندهای پیچیده و پرتنشی با یکدیگر دارند. از یک سو، برخی ادیان ریشه‌هایی الهیاتی برای آفرینش هنری یافته‌اند و برخی دیگر به دلایل الهیاتی هنرها را از خود رانده‌اند. از دیگر سو، مفهوم هنر نیز طی قرون متمادی تحولات تاریخی عمیقی را از سر گذرانده است و آن‌چه روزگاری هنر دینی به شمار می‌آمد رفته‌رفته از حیطٔ هنرهای زیبا به حوزهٔ هنرهای کاربردی رانده شد. نویسنده با اشاره به مباحثات متألهان و متفکران دربارهٔ نقش بی‌بدیل هنرها در ایمان و ایقان و ایثار دینی به عرضهٔ ادلهٔ فلسفی برای توضیح تعامل تاریخی ادیان و انواع هنرها می‌پردازد. شرح فلسفی موضوعاتی مانند دلایل حضور نافذ نوا و نوحه و نغمه در ادیان، رابطهٔ متواتر یا متلاطم شرک و شمایل، پیوستگی پایدار ادبیات و عبادت و مبانی معنوی معماری معابد و مقابر این کتاب را به منبعی مفید برای دین‌پژوهان و هنرپژوهان مبدل می‌کند.

این کتاب در مورد تعامل دوتا کانسپت دین و هنر در دوران‌های مختلفه... کمک‌ها و ضرر‌هایی که بهم زدن.
فصل اول بصورت کلی و مقدماتی توضیحاتی ارائه می ده
و توی چند فصل بطور مجزا، ادبیات، نقاشی، موسیقی و معماری رو در هنر دینی، بررسی می‌کنه و با یک جمع‌بندی کتاب رو تموم می‌کنه.
برای کسی که به این موضوع‌ها علاقه‌منده اما چندان مطالعه‌ی عمیق نداشته می‌تونه یک راهنمای خوب باشه‌.
اما برای من کمی تکراری و خسته‌کننده بود.
تنها خوبیش ارجاعاتیه که به آرت‌های مختلف زده و تونستم با یکی دوتا نقاش و عکاس جدید که کاراشون رو دوست داشتم آشنا بشم.

Only an author who is confident in his own field of study would attempt to take the three great themes of philosophy, art and religion and attempt a synthesis. Gordon Graham has, in this book, succeeded admirably in elucidating on the complexities of the relations between these themes while at the same time providing a text which is accessible to both the academic student and the general reader alike. There is a caveat, however: the book is written in a style which is predominantly philosophical. The highly structured and questioning approach is well suited to the successful attempt to uncover the nature and essence of both art and religion. In addition to being a philosophical treatise it also serves as a resource for teaching the modes of philosophical thought. Nevertheless, the author also spells out the practical implications of such rationalistic explorations noting that “getting clear about the issues can enable worshippers to have a better sense of what they are doing and why they do it” (p.57). There is much to commend this book. I particularly liked his discussions on place of iconography in religious art and the important role played by architecture in the ongoing development of cultural expression. Throughout, the author paints with well informed broad brush strokes bringing the reader to understand art as both object and performance. His grasp of the subject matter is obvious and this is bolstered by comprehensive references and a carefully chosen bibliography. This is a book that the reader will want to return to over and over again both as a point of reference and a springboard for further exploration into these important issues. Marvellous !
