“An entirely brilliant book on an intensely difficult subject. The Invisibility of Religion in Contemporary Art is not just for artists, art historians, critics, curators, and theologians: it’s for anyone who wants to see what a well-informed, calm, patient, humble, circumspect voice can do with a subject that seems so fraught, so entrenched.”
—James Elkins, E. C. Chadbourne Professor of Art History, Theory, and Criticism, SAIC
“The impressive achievement of Jonathan Anderson’s crosscutting analysis and trenchant examples demonstrates beyond argument that art history and criticism have been hobbled by neglecting the inheritance of theological frames and assumptions.”
—Thomas E. Crow, Rosalie Solow Professor of Modern Art, NYU
