Art: The Church's Response

Description

Art: The Church's Response explores what the biblical perspective is towards creativity and the arts by examining the Hebrew and Greek words the Bible uses touching on various art concepts. While considering the biblical perspective, Rick Sorenson (a creative) includes a historic and aesthetic context, presenting the arts as a wholistic attitude, because art is more than just visual, encompassing all the arts of music, drama, dance, and writing. The Bible states we are to test all things, so the basis for testing works is examined. Putting our works and other's works to the test, we upgrade our outlook.

This book looks at some societal constraints that prevent people from functioning as the Creator intends. To overcome the indoctrination taught throughout society, the author clears the confusion surrounding creativity, inspiration, and the creative process, while considering who is our audience. How we impart significance into works is also explored. When we apply these art concepts, we develop an enhanced maturity in our journey with God.
