LMA 25 The Artist as Theologian
Dorothy Sayers wrote that artists "often communicate in their own mode of expression truths identical with the theologians’ truths." In this course we will learn to use the visual arts as a theological resource in Christian education, preaching, and worship. We begin with an in-depth study of the work of Rembrandt, arguably the greatest visual interpreter of scripture. We will take a field trip to view Rembrandt’s original etchings and drawings at the National Gallery of Art's Department of Prints and Drawings. And two contemporary artist-theologians will discuss their work with our class. (Not offered in 2002-03.)

LMA 41 Experiencing the Gospel Narrative Through Art

The course will provide students with material for individual study and reflection on the gospels and also seasonal material appropriate to parish programs. There will be a field trip to the National Gallery of Art.
