Description
Summary:My mini thesis of "Finding God in Art: Karl Rahner on the Nature of Religious Art" was part of my master's project with the Flinders University, South Australia, completed in December 2014. With my research topic, "Finding God in Art", in mind, I was seeking to go beyond the classical idea of sacred art to explore the way other art may genuinely be religious even though it is not overtly about a religious subject. To do this I adopted some of the insights of Karl Rahner's theology. The immense success of Rahner's work is a tribute to his ability to speak profoundly about the everyday life of ordinary men and women. I explored Rahner's thought about art, both verbal and non-verbal, within a Christian context.
