TRS 345 - Liturgical Art and Architecture

Institution:

Catholic University of America

Subject:

Description:

An exploration of the theology expressed in Christian liturgical art, architecture and worship space. Using a historical approach, the diverse forms, contexts and worldviews that shaped ritual, visual objects and worship space will be investigated from the early church to the present, each with the purpose of understanding the underlying theology of the worshiping community's understanding of the sacred, their relationship to God and their relationship to each other. Course will incorporate local churches (either Washington DC metropolitan area or Rome) in the study of the ways that human beings construct meaning in liturgical art, architecture and worship space as well as how images and spaces are a theological reflection of the faith tradition.
