Art as religious studies

---

This is an amazing statement about the power of the visual image from someone who spent his life expressing himself through the written word. The suggestion that Fra Angelico says more in this one image than could be said in a whole book indicates not only power of this particular image but the importance of the visual modality for the communication of religious ideas. In recent years, art historians and critics, and a few theologians, have argued for a contemporary recognition of the visual modality as a means of theological, philosophical, and cultural reflection, not just as a mirror for aesthetic values and tastes.
