Description
Navid Kermani's exploration of Christian art is a fascinating reflection on a religion that rarely speaks of itself with such earnestness and enthusiasm. As a non-believer, Kermani approaches Christianity with open-minded curiosity, engaging with its great richness and diversity. Through his engagement with Christian art, Kermani reveals the spectacular beauty and terror of this complex faith. He explores the works of old masters like Botticelli, Caravaggio, and Rembrandt, drawing connections between their art and seemingly remote worlds, literature, and mystical Islam. This unique perspective on Christianity invites readers to rekindle their interest in great art. Kermani's poetic school of seeing offers a captivating glimpse into his Islamic reading of the West, one that will resonate with anyone interested in art, history, or the intersection of faiths.
