ARTS Vol. 27, No. 3 (2016)


This issue features the piece Mary as Prophet, a sculpture by Margaret Adams Parker installed at Virginia Theological Seminary. Peggy Parker discusses her own work, followed by a photo essay by B. Cayce Ramey treating Parker’s prophetic creation. Also in this issue, Australia-based theologian and musician Maeve Louise Heaney attempts to articulate how those who have a hyphenated existence as both artists and theologians hold great promise for the theological enterprise. Mark Burrows curates four poems by Jennifer Wallace, Regina Walton, Angela Alaimo O’Donnell, and Harold J. Recinos. Mark McKim, a Canada-based minister, reflects on how the play Tuesdays with Morriedemonstrates how the central symbols of the Christian story no longer resonate with western culture, and he proposes ways to think about Christianity anew. Mark McInroy rounds out the issue with notes about four new titles in theology and the arts.
