Description
Translucence: Religion, the Arts, and Imagination. Edited by Carol Gilbertson and Gregg Muilenburg. Minneapolis: Fortress, 2004. 220 pages. Paper. $18.00. This is a collection of essays that grew out of a Lutheran Academy of Scholars seminar in the summer of 2001, "The Public Intellectual and the Arts." Invited by Ronald Thiemann and facilitated by L. DeAne Lagerquist, the seminar included faculty (both Lutheran and non-Lutheran) from a variety of Lutheran-affiliated colleges, many of whom are also directly involved in the creative arts--musicians, poets, an actor, and an art historian--and continued online through the events of September 11. The resulting anthology is one in which religion (primarily in the form of Lutheran Christianity), philosophy, and the arts are brought into a dialogue that is not only fruitful but also highly literate and theologically sophisticated.
