[Transcendence in the Plural. Church, Art, and Media] Today, the experience of self-transcendence links art with religion. Luther in Stotternheim and Caravaggio's Cupid, the encounter with the saint or with Eros belong to the same genre of experience, a transformation of the self by an overwhelming power, but they articulate it in different ways. Art seeks the whole in the fullness of appearances. Religion, on the other hand, seeks to transcend this aesthetic dwelling towards a transcendent ground, towards God. Both satisfy people's vital need to transcend and expand their existence in view of a comprehensive wholeness, but they do so in different ways, aesthetically in art, religiously in the church.
