With the walls of their churches bereft of imagery and colour and
their worship centered around sermons with carefully constructed
outlines (as opposed to movement and drama), Reformed Protestants
have often been accused of being dour and unimaginative. Here,
William Dyrness explores the roots of Reformed theology in an
attempt to counteract these prevailing notions. Studying
sixteenth-century Geneva and England, seventeenth-century England
and Holland and seventeenth and eighteenth-century Puritan New
England, Dyrness argues that, though this tradition impeded
development of particular visual forms, it encouraged others,
especially in areas of popular culture and the ordering of family
and community. Exploring the theology of John Calvin, William Ames,
John Cotton and Jonathan Edwards, Dyrness shows how this tradition
created a new aesthetic of simplicity, inwardness and order to
express underlying theological commitments. With over forty
illustrations, this book will prove invaluable to those interested
in the Reformed tradition.
