A Piercing Light: Beauty, Faith, and Human Transcendence
James M. Jacobs
Marc Notes: The essays in this volume examine how the practice of both art and faith necessarily order man to transcendent fulfilment, yet do so in very different ways. The first section examines the analogical nature of art and faith. The second section reflects on the nature of art as a virtue perfecting human creativity. The third section contemplates the purpose of the work of art as revelatory of truth. The final section explores how the arts become debased when their practice rejects the goal of beauty.
