Description
The book Thinking about Transcendence offers twelve reflections on the concepts of transcendence from the perspectives of theologians from antiquity to modern times, Renaissance artists, religious educators, and linguists. In chronological order, the rich intellectual world of the Apostle Paul, Bishop Ambrose of Milan, the "angelic teacher" Thomas Aquinas, theorists of Italian Renaissance disegno (e.g., G. Vasari), and figures of modern Christian theological thought such as Hans Urs von Balthasar, Adolph Gesché, Tomáš Špidlík, and Klaus Berger unfolds before the reader. The Christian spectrum is complemented by a medieval reflection of the Islamic scholar Al-Ghazali on the transcendent attributes of God. The importance of the transcendent dimension in everyday life is captured through the lens of moral theology and religious pedagogy. A reflection on the specificity of biblical style and its sustainability in the contemporary world concludes this comprehensive view of a dimension of human existence that is often overlooked today, yet remains indispensable.
