This exciting well illustrated new book could be regarded as Rainbows for a Fallen World part 2. This is vintage Seerveld . It is a passionate & biblical plea for Christians to take the arts seriously as they would other gifts of God, not as a mere tool of evangelism, but as an authentic expression of human life in a broken yet redeemed world. Seerveld offers an alternative vision for being obedient to God in the area of artistic culture as artists, art critics and historians, patrons and the public at large. This is a stimulating & exciting introduction to understanding art from a Christian perspective. (Please note that a major portion(pp 309-386) of Seerveld's 'In the Fields of the Lord' (Philosophy & Worldview section of the booklist)consists of further papers on the arts & aethetics not found in this volume). Dr. Calvin Seerveld is Emeritus Professor of Philosophical Aesthetics at the Institute for Christian Studies in Toronto & a frequent speaker at the Greenbelt Festival.
