“There’s no point at which we can say, ‘I’ve got it.’ Always and forever, mystery gets you. Our searching for God is a search for symbols, analogies and metaphors. All theological language is an approximation, offered tentatively in holy awe. That’s the best human language can achieve.
We must, absolutely must, maintain a fundamental humility before the great mystery. If we do not, religion always worships itself and its formulations, and never God.”
So says Fr. Richard Rohr, and thus contemplates art historian and medievalist Professor Nancy Ross. Nancy reflects on the place of art as an approximation of the Christian faith in the West. She offers a heartfelt reflection on how art has shaped her own understandings of the divine and her faith development.
