Through the Rose Window: Art, Myth and the Religious Imagination

by John F. Hayward, Kenneth A. Olliff (Introduction)

Religion, itself a human art, is presented as an invention of the human imagination rather than a gift from a divine source. Like religion, the arts express depths that are not readily available for rational analysis yet are deeply felt in human experience. In these essays, Hayward samples literature, music and the visual arts to demonstrate how the arts reveal "the true music of life."
