This publication explores the role of art in religious experience, especially in reformed liturgy. The author subscribes to the view that aesthetics in theology is important.
His main thesis is that faith is Spirit and imagination, revelation and creativity. God has a face, his goal is a new heaven and a new earth, and therefore whoever believes cannot do without images, without imagination.
Cilliers writes in the belief that worship, whether done individually or communally, is indeed beautiful. According to the Catechism of Westminster, it is the vocation of all human beings to know and enjoy God forever. Worship is and should be a beautiful experience, even and perhaps especially in the midst of a world that seems to be falling apart. Worship is to dance about.
