Description Table of Contents Author Information Reviews

How can the work of a diverse selection of women artists reveal something of God, theology, and religious experience? Women, Art, God is the first attempt to weave together intersectional feminist theology with the work of visual artists spanning several centuries, taking seriously the religious and theological themes in their work. Art historian and priest Ayla Lepine helps us to see God through the eyes of the 12 artists she selects, and in so doing challenges us to take visual theology more seriously.
