This panel engages Jonathan Anderson’s forthcoming book, The Invisibility of Religion in Contemporary Art (University of Notre Dame Press, 2025), a major contribution to contemporary debates at the intersection of art history, religious studies, and theology. Anderson argues that religion—particularly theology—has been rendered functionally invisible within dominant narratives of modern and contemporary art. Through historiographical analysis and close readings, he proposes new methodological approaches for interpreting contemporary art in more rigorous dialogue with theology. Bringing together scholars from diverse disciplines, this roundtable examines the book’s central claims, its implications for art-historical method, and the broader question of whether “contemporary art and religion” can be understood as a coherent field. Panelists will address key tensions concerning theology, criticism, judgment, and disciplinary boundaries. The discussion concludes with Anderson’s response, opening a broader conversation about the future of art history and religion.
