In three interrelated parts, chapters employ phenomenological tools to propose new ways for speaking of the desire for God. Scholars first draw upon music, sculpture, film, and painting to develop ways of expressing diverse philosophical and religious aspects characteristic of aesthetic experience. The discussion then opens up to examine the mystical and wounded aspects of embodied interface with God. The final part investigates embodied aesthetic \u003ci\u003epraxis\u003c\/i\u003e in philosophy of religion and religious studies.  With several contributions engaging with the embodied, aesthetic experience of underrepresented voices, \u003ci\u003eArt, Desire, and God\u003c\/i\u003e offers constructive phenomenological bridges across divides of \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eArt and art practice necessarily involve the phenomenological. However, scholarly introductions to this inherent aspect (or requirement) of the arts rarely engage this reality with sufficient depth, let alone creativity and attention. \u003ci\u003eArt, Desire, and God\u003c\/i\u003e sets a high standard for studies in aesthetics, showing how art, phenomenology, and theology are mutually donative, helping us become better at seeing things in and of themselves. * Rebekah Lamb, Lecturer, Theology and the Arts, University of St Andrews, UK *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Colour Plates Acknowledgements  Introduction, \u003ci\u003eKevin Grove, Christopher Rios, and Taylor Nutter (all of University of Notre Dame, USA)\u003c\/i\u003e  \u003cb\u003ePart I: Embodied Experience in Art and Film\u003c\/b\u003e 1.
