Art is all around you.
Yet few of us can effectively explain why certain movies, books, plays, and songs resonate so profoundly within us, and more importantly how they attest to God’s character.
Professor Jerram Barrs gives us the three key elements for evaluating great art. He then puts those qualifiers to the test by investigating five of the world’s most influential authors—empowering us to better understand the character of God and helping others to know him too.
1. God and Humans as Creative Artists
2. Imitation, the Heart of the Christian’s Approach to Creativity
3. Building a Christian Understanding of the Artist’s Calling
4. How Do We Judge the Arts?
5. Echoes of Eden: God’s Testimony to the Truth
6. The Conversion of C. S. Lewis and Echoes of Eden in His Life
7. Echoes of Eden in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings
8. Harry Potter and the Triumph of Self-Sacrificing Love
9. Shakespeare and a Christian Worldview
10. Jane Austen, Novelist of the Human Heart
Appendix: The “Outing” of Dumbledore
