Description

Art and the Bible by Francis A. Schaeffer explores the relationship between Christianity and the arts. The author argues that as Christians, we should use artistic creativity to glorify God, rather than viewing it solely as a means of evangelism. Schaeffer examines the biblical record of various art forms and establishes a Christian perspective on art. He contends that our desire to create reflects our being created in the image of a creator God. This book offers a clear and vigorous exploration of why imagination should be directed towards the infinite, rather than the finite. Through his essays, Schaeffer seeks to understand how Christians can engage with the arts in a way that is faithful to their faith.
