The first in the new Power Polemics series, Thomas Crow's No Idols: The Missing Theology of Art tackles a pervading blindspot in today's art-historical inquiry: religion. Crow pursues a perhaps unpopular notion of Christianity's continued presence in modern abstract art and in the process makes a case for art s own terrain of theology: one that eschews idolatry by means of abstraction.
