Modern Christianity, Part of Cultural Wars: The Challenge of a Visual Culture

M.A. Smalbrugge

School of Religion and Theology

Research output: Contribution to Journal › Article › Academic › peer-review

Abstract

Christianity created an ambiguous concept of the notion of image, reducing it in the end to a void image. This development caused a separation between theology and culture. It is a separation which eventually led to a Christianity that is hostile to modern culture and seeks only to reinforce its own identity
