1. 1. Art In Action

   Toward a Christian Aesthetic

   

   Argues that art is fundamentally an activity carried out by persons within communities—an intentional mode of action that aims to exhibit goods, disclose aspects of reality, and elicit appropriate responses—rather than a detached realm of formal qualities; it rejects aestheticism and formalism, locates artistic judgment in shared standards and practices, treats artistic work as a vocation that shapes moral and communal perception, and connects aesthetic appraisal to a broader theistic vision in which the world’s goodness provides the basis for understanding and valuing artworks.
