Art and the Bible

Many Christians, wary of creating graven images, have steered clear of artistic creativity. But the Bible offers a robust affirmation of the arts. The human impulse to create reflects our being created in the image of a creator God.Art and the Bible has been a foundational work for generations of Christians in the arts. In this book's classic essays, Francis Schaeffer first examines the scriptural record of the use of various art forms, and then establishes a Christian perspective on art. With clarity and vigor, Schaeffer explains why "the Christian is the one whose imagination should fly beyond the stars."Market/AudienceArtists, writers and musiciansStudentsWorship team participants and leadersFeatures and BenefitsA new edition of an IVP classic.Written by Francis Schaeffer, a respected theologian with a deep interest in the arts.Suggests eleven perspectives within which a Christian view of art can take shape.
