Art and the Bible: Two Essays Audiobook

" Short and sweet and to the point, but very good. Schaeffer's vision was on-target, by and large, though he got a little hung up at times on conveying propositional truth through art. Thus, his rejection of art-as-tract is right, but as a cultural project his vision failed at least in part because it wasn't truly coherent in his own writing here. Still, this should be on the required reading shelf for any would-be Christian artist. "

" A wonderfully biblical and culturally-conscious look at how a Christian should view art, and how artists should use their skills for the glory of God. "
