In this episode of Author to Author, Dr. Cynthia Toolin-Wilson interviews David Clayton on his book Veiling to Reveal: John Paul II’s Theology of the Body and the Role of Clothing in Christian Art and Anthropology (May 7, 2024)

In his writing on the human person and art, Pope John Paul II renewed interest in the nude in sacred art, calling artists to represent the human form "naked without shame." While some have interpreted this as a new Catholic permissiveness, David Clayton argues that John Paul II actually reaffirms the Church's traditional approach.In Veiling to Reveal, Clayton:
  • Examines how Christian artists should approach nudity to avoid licentiousness, using the Sistine Chapel's recent renovations as a starting point
  • Explores how good art deviates from perfect realism to depict essential truths not always visible to the naked eye
  • Guides Christian artists in avoiding the occasion of sin while providing alternative training methods for mastering the human figure
