It is often difficult to describe beauty or even justify attempts to experience something beautiful. Yet if artists - whether painters or poets, actors or musicians, architects or sculptors - teach us anything, it is that the pursuit of beauty is a common feature among all humanity. As Cecilia Gonz?ílez-Andrieu contends, these varied experiences with artistic beauty are embedded with revelatory and prophetic power that not only affects a single individual but allows for communal formation. Named one of America magazine's most promising young theologians, Gonzalez-Andrieu seeks to engage art in order to reveal its religious significance. Bridge to Wonder proposes a method of theological aesthetics allowing readers to mine the depths of creative beauty to discover variegated theological truths that enable greater communion with each other and the One source of all that is beautiful.
