Review: "This practical guide encourages artists and those interested in the arts to develop a Christian worldview from which they can approach their crafts. Here the best teaching on the subject over the last fifty years is digested and reapplied, supported by a wealth of quotes from artists, critics and Christian thinkers." "A wide range of illustrations, both historical and contemporary, illuminates the text as the authors explore the conflicting influences on Christians entering the arts. They correlate the major biblical themes of creation, fall and redemption to the business of making art. The nature and purpose of the arts are examined along with the way we experience and interpret them. Finally, readers are given practical guidelines on practicing and developing their art."--BOOK JACKET.
