Overview

Jaroslav Pelikan was one of the foremost intellectuals of the twentieth century. He was dean of Yale Graduate School from 1973–1978, president of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, editor of the religious section of Encyclopedia Britannica, a member of the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities, and founder of the Council of Scholars at the Library of Congress. This collection pairs two of his books that examine the connection between art and theology. Bach Among the Theologians offers a unique look into the theological influences and implications of the great composer’s work, while Fools for Christ examines six other figures in the Western aesthetic tradition and how their work grew out of their grappling with the divine.

Key Features

• Presents three volumes from one of the twentieth century’s foremost intellectuals
• Examines how Christian doctrine developed over the centuries
• Includes a dictionary of philosophical and theological topics written by Pelikan

Praise for the Author

Jaroslav Pelikan ranged so widely in his exploration of historic Christian traditions, and his work probed so deeply, that it is a real boon to see Wipf and Stock bringing some of his books back into print. They were excellent reading when they first appeared; they remain excellent reading today.

—Mark A. Noll, McAnaney Professor of History, University of Notre Dame
