Religious art occupies a relevant place in the history of the Church and in a particular way in the faith experiences of believers where particular understandings that faith has acquired from theological teaching have been configured. This text aims to identify the unity and existing connections between art and theology, analyzing how these two aspects can enhance the experiences of faith and evangelization as paths of encounter that enable developments of special historical and ecclesial impact, both in individual and community life believer. For this, a historical reconstruction is made around the importance of art for the consolidation of theological knowledge and experiences of faith, it continues with a theological reading of beauty and its impact on the experience of faith and closes with a reference to the processes of evangelization through religious art. Under this route, prospective action routes are presented that make room for the link between art, experience of faith and evangelization in an updated sense.

Keywords : art; faith experience; evangelism; church; catechesis.
