Summary

In Chapters 1 through 3, we compared the aesthetic visibility and invisibility of God and persons and introduced a substantial, high view of human persons as able to encounter the transcendent experientially. In Chapter 4 we undertook an aesthetic investigation into a series of religious worlds and their secular alternatives; in Chapter 5 we reflected on the religious significance of beauty; and in Chapter 6 we reflected on how works of art can conceal or reveal secular and sacred values.
