![]() ![]() It makes me thankful for Schaeffer and others like him who were speaking into this area in the church 40 years ago. I still hear from a lot of churchgoers a lot of fear about “those postmoderns,” but one of the blessings of the shift in worldview culturally over the past few decades has been the rediscovery in some ways of the power and importance of art and creative efforts. ![]() I think in the last couple of decades, the Church has made pretty significant strides as it relates to how it stewards art and values its role in community and mission. Schaeffer aims to lay out a simple theology of art and creation for giving glory to God and bearing witness to the world. Various faith communities over the years have either drifted to either rejecting the role of art in giving glory to God or they have gone to the other extreme of worshipping art itself. The book was written a few decades ago, but it serves as an apologetic of sorts for the importance of art and creation for the Church and for Christians. ![]() It was short and awesome – I love books like that! I recently read Francis Schaeffer’s Art and the Bible and I really appreciated it. ![]()
