​

The Swanson Lecture in Christian Spirituality—12th April 2024
University of Calgary in partnership with the Calgary Public Library
CREATION AND CREATIVITY: ART, THEOLOGY AND ECOLOGY
​
Pope Francis condemns what he calls the “excessive anthropocentrism” of modernity. He invites humankind to heal our relationships with one another and the rest of creation through poetry, art, popular devotions, and prayerful contemplation as well as through action for social and environmental justice. Tina Beattie asks what anthropological transformation might come about if, instead of imagining the divine image (imago dei) in terms of rationality, we adopted Basil of Caesarea’s image of God as the Supreme Artist delighting in the beauty and diversity of creation. She reflects on medieval and modern art, poetry and music, to explore what it would mean to see the human creature as an artist of creation and co-creator with God.
