Literary and the sacred

I can't tell if the thesaurus-heavy word salad with vaguely antisemitic overtones in OP is another one of the right-wing trolls that occasionally come to this board or not- but assuming you're serious and asking in good faith: Peter Burger's "Theory of the Avant-garde" frames the historical progression of art - beginning with "sacred art" within the context of "historical and religious phenomena" you claim you want to know more about. Allen Ginsberg is another person who (early in his career) frames his artistic practice within art's sacral function.

To some degree I feel like I don't understand your question because you've framed it poorly (but with great confidence). Art's sacral function is largely understood as a historic phenomena, and you're interested in...contemporary takes on historical texts? Contemporary takes on contemporary texts that adopt historically mismatched understandings of art?

From my perspective it sounds like New Historicist studies into late medieval texts is mostly what you're looking for?
