Panel Topic: Religion and Art
Mapping the Field of Theology and the Arts
Authors: Rebekah Dyer, Thomas Pfau, Chloë Reddaway, Maeve Heaney
The field of theology and the arts is interdisciplinary and multifaceted in character, and this inherent multiplicity is reflected in both its subjects and its methodologies. This panel brings together scholars working in theology and literature, music, and the visual arts to discuss the current state of play across the discipline. The conversation will tie into, while not being constrained by, the question of how the field of theology and the arts may be captured by scholarly reference works such as the St Andrews Encyclopaedia of Theology.Chair: Rebekah Dyer (University of St Andrews / St Andrews Encyclopaedia of TheologySpeakers:Thomas Pfau (Duke University)Chloë Reddaway (King’s College London) Maeve Heaney (Australian Catholic University)
