The tension between Christianity and the arts is often real. But it
also offers a false dichotomy. Many Christian artists think that
they must choose between their faith and their artistic calling.
Drawing upon his experiences as both a Christian and a practicing
artist, Cameron J. Anderson explores the dynamics of faith and art
in this Studies in Theology and the Arts volume. Tracing the
relationship between evangelicalism and modern art in postwar
America-two entities that often found themselves at odds with each
other-Anderson raises several issues that confront artists. With
skill, sensitivity, and insight, he considers questions such as the
role of our bodies and our senses in our experience of the arts,
the relationship between text and image, the persistent dangers of
idolatry, the possibility of pursuing God through an encounter with
beauty, and more. Throughout this study, Anderson's principal
concern is how Christian artists can faithfully pursue their
vocational calling in contemporary culture. Readers will find here
not only an informed and thoughtful response, but also a vision
that offers guidance and hope. The Studies in Theology and the Arts
series encourages Christians to thoughtfully engage with the
relationship between their faith and artistic expression, with
contributions from both theologians and artists on a range of
artistic media including visual art, music, poetry, literature,
film, and more.
