Recenzje

In this magisterial volume, Richard Viladesau explores what the Cross means in late modernity and postmodernity. He does so through a traversal of an extraordinarily wide range of sources, theological and philosophical, and through the arts, including the plastic arts, film and music, revealing a depth of thought unique amongst theologians of our time. This is a daringly provocative and innovative work, essential for anyone interested in theology and the arts.
