520			_aSummary:
520			_a "The essays in this volume," writes the editor, "represent essays that I have found essential to my own thinking about Christianity and the arts." He recommends them as "the materials from which anyone can build a solid Christian approach to the arts." The articles are clustered around these topics: a philosophy of the arts, literature, eight literary forms (myth, tragedy, satire, comedy, the novel, poetry, drama, film), the writer, the visual arts, and music. All contributions offer Christian perspectives on these subjects. - Back cover. Read less
