Vicente Chong is professor of Theology at the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Ecuador. He earned a PhD in Theology from Heythrop College, University of London.
"This sure-footed study is an important new theological
contribution. It offers not only a broadening of the field of
theological aesthetics--one which takes the field beyond its
familiar Balthasarian base--but also a real deepening of the
tradition of Latin American liberation theology. I have learned a
great deal from it."
--Karen E. Kilby, Durham University
"Vicente Chong's book offers original insights into the liberating
power of arts . . . he offers an aesthetic understanding of the
person of Jesus Christ which is inspired by the Holy Spirit working
in the experience of art. Chong systematizes and expands his
theological aesthetics of liberation with the help of Edward
Schillebeeckx's theology."
--Martin Maier SJ, Central American University of San Salvador
"Chong provides a timely contribution to theological aesthetics,
looking beyond art as an end in itself, seeing it as a means of
transformation and liberation, through the action of the Holy
Spirit. His account is Christologically enriched by linking beauty
and justice in the death of Christ, recognising that liberation
also seeks the beauty of a better world."
--Martin Poulsom, University of Roehampton
