Аннотация

"Tikkun Olam"–To Mend the World is premised on the conviction that artists and theologians have things to learn from one another, things about the complex interrelationality of life and about a coherence of things given and sustained by God. The ten essays compiled in this volume seek to attend to the lives, burdens, and hopes that characterize human life in a world broken but unforgotten, in travail but moving towards the freedom promised by a faithful Creator. They reflect on whether the world–wounded as it is by war, by hatred, by exploitation, by neglect, by reason, and by human imagination itself–can be healed. Can there be repair? And can art and theology tell the truth of the world's woundedness and still speak of its hope?
