Rethinking Sacred Arts

What makes art sacred? Can an object be inherently holy—or does sacredness lie in its use?

Saint Vladimir’s Seminary (SVS) Press’s new book, Rethinking Sacred Arts, brings together leading scholars and artists to explore these and other questions across visual art, architecture, music, poetry, and liturgy. This first installment in SVS Press’s new Sacred Arts series is ideal for practitioners and scholars alike. It offers a vital resource for anyone probing the spiritual dimensions of art within an academic or liturgical context.
