Summary

A leading philosopher and theologian, Jean-Louis Chrétien uses poetry and painting to explore a theme that runs through all of his work: how human life is shaped by the experience of call and response. For Chrétien, we live by responding to the call of experience with words, gestures, expressions, and silence. In luminous meditations on Rembrandt, Delacroix, Manet, Verlaine, Keats, and other artists, Chrétien shows how "talking hands of painters" and the "secretly lucid" voices of poets confront the finitude of the human body. Hand to Hand is a deeply cultured renewal of art in all its provocative, transforming, spiritual presence.

Author Biography

Jean-Louis ChrTtien is the author of The Unforgettable and the Unhoped For, and, áco-editor of Phenomenology and the "Theological Turn": The French Debate (both, Fordham). Stephen Lewis is Associate Director of the Lumen Christi Institute, Chicago.
