Tillich’s pioneering work in the theology of art offers an important way of doing theology in the modern era that resonates with contemporary Christians. While he explored visual art from a variety of historical periods, Tillich did not explore the major mid-twentieth century art movement called Abstract Expressionism. Tillich’s approach to the theology of art, particularly from a Christian existentialist perspective, works well with the paintings of a key Abstract Expressionist like Barnett Newman whose life and work paralleled that of Paul Tillich. Due to changes in the practices of contemporary painters such as producing written reflections on their own and their fellow artists’ work, today’s theologian of art needs to consider this additional material rather than a single visual work of art taken in isolation. Artists’ statements and writings, the writing of contemporary critics, as well as that of art historians present theologians an expanded body of material to investigate theologically. This thesis applies such an expanded theological approach to Newman’s painting series Stations of the Cross: Lema Sabachthani.
