Synopsis

This practical guide encourages artists and those interested in the arts to develop a Christian worldview from which they can approach art. The authors explore the conflicting influences on Christians entering the arts, the relation of the major biblical themes of Creation, Fall and Redemption to the business of making art, and the exact nature and purpose of the arts and the way we experience and interpret them. Finally, readers are given practical guidelines on practising and developing their art.

Review:

"Hilary Brand and Adrienne Chaplin have produced an academic but delightfully written book designed to fill a significant need for students who are contemplating a career or some active involvement in the arts. It is addressed to participants in all of the arts--visual, music, theatre, film or any combination of the above--as well as interested observers and consumers of art. . . . "I have used Art & Soul as a text for a Senior Seminar in the visual arts, and it was enthusiastically received by students. Its usefulness, however, is certainly not limited to the classroom: anyone involved in music, theatre, film or the visual arts will find a wealth of stimulating material for inspiration and discussion on a variety of levels. I have found this book to be the most valuable addition to my library in a long time." (Joanne Alberda, Dort College, in Pro Rege)
