Abstract: The notion of incarnation has historically been a prominent concept for the acceptance of images and the interpretation of art within Christianity. A contemporary proponent of this line of reasoning about the theological potential of art is David Brown, who builds his theology of culture on the doctrine of incarnation. This article presents an examination of Brown’s aesthetic, utilising it as a case study of this approach. It addresses key tenets of Brown’s theological standpoint, including his concept of revelation through tradition, imagination and art, his advocacy for the re‐enchantment of the world and the underlying rationales for this. The article extends beyond Brown to explore the rationale of the incarnational aesthetic in general.
