While I agree with the author's premise, his argument in the first half of the book falls flat. The second half, however, is a better written work and more compelling, offering pertinent examples of what he is talking about. His five circles of artistic expression is an intriguing lens with which to view art. ( ) While I agree with the author's premise, his argument in the first half of the book falls flat. The second half, however, is a better written work and more compelling, offering pertinent examples of what he is talking about. His five circles of artistic expression is an intriguing lens with which to view art. A good book for any Christian in the arts. Turner spends the bulk of the book explaining why it's okay for a Christian to be involved in the arts at all, something I didn't consider to be worthy of that much space. Turner was a rock music critic, so most of his examples come from his own personal knowledge of rock-and-roll history. While he covers a lot of the same ground covered by other authors before, it's a good and worthy read. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Imagine art that is risky, complex, and subtle. Imagine music, movies, books, and paintings of the highest quality. Imagine art that permeates society, challenging conventional thinking and standard morals to their core. Imagine that it is all created by Christians!This is the bold vision of Steve Turner, who has worked among a wide variety of artists for decades. He believes Christians should confront society and the church using art's powerful impact. Art can faithfully chronicle the lives of ordinary people and express the transcendence of God. And Christians should be involved in every level of the art world and in every medium.In this revised and expanded edition of a contemporary classic, Turner builds a compelling case for Christians in the arts. If Jesus is Lord of all of life and creation, then art is part of his cultural mandate. It can and should be a way of expressing faith through creatively, beautifully, and truthfully arranged words, sounds, and sights.Now includes study questions for individual reflection or group discussion.
