Translucence: Religion, the Arts, and ImaginationCarol Gilbertson, Gregg Muilenburg An ongoing seminar, led by Ronald Thiemann of Harvard Divinity School, took the arts as the point of departure for consideration of the role of religion in public life, particularly the ways in which Lutheran intellectuals and academics might participate.

Duffy, Karen Black, Kathryn Ananda-Owens, James Hanson. |
