Real Presences: Is There Anything in What We Say?
Author(s): George Steiner
Philosophy, Spirituality & Religion
Can there be major dimensions of a poem, a painting, a musical composition created in the absence of God? Or, is God always a real presence in the arts? Steiner passionately argues that a transcendent reality grounds all genuine art and human communication.
