Download or read book Angels in the architecture: the spirit of creativity written by Karen Godbout. This book was released on 2013-10-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To be inspired is, literally, to be imbued with spirit. For as long as human beings have made art, we have also wondered where the creative impulse comes from. The experience of art is transcendent. It takes us beyond mundane existence to a place of spirit and connection. To experience a true work of art may be, truly, to experience the divine. This book of photography and quotes looks to the beauty surrounding us - looks up to the angels in the architecture - and invites others to do the same.

Download or read book Angels in the Architecture written by Douglas Jones. This book was released on 1998. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity presents a glorious vision of culture, a vision overflowing with truth, beauty, and goodness. It's a vision that stands in stark conflict with the anemic modern (and postmodern) perspectives that dominate contemporary life. Medieval Christianity began telling a beautiful story about the good life, but it was silenced in mid-sentence. The Reformation rescued truth, but its modern grandchildren have often ignored the importance of a medieval grasp of the good life. This book sketches a vision of "medieval Protestantism," a personal and cultural vision that embraces the fullness of Christian truth, beauty, and goodness. "This volume is a breath of fresh air in our polluted religious environment. Hopefully many readers will breathe deeply of its contents and be energized." -The Presbyterian Witness "[A] delightful apologetic for a Protestant cultural vision. . . . before you write off these two as mere obscurantist Reformed types, take care. I found that some of my objections were, on the surface, more modern than biblical." -Gregory Alan Thornbury, Carl F. Henry Center for Christian Leadership "[T]his book cries out against the bland, purely spiritualized Christianity to which so many of us have become accustomed. . . . I highly recommend it." -David Kind, Pilgrimage, Concordia Theological Seminary

Book Synopsis Architecture and Theology by : Murray Rae

Download or read book Architecture and Theology written by Murray Rae. This book was released on 2017. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dynamic relationship between art and theology continues to fascinate and to challenge, especially when theology addresses art in all of its variety. In Architecture and Theology: The Art of Place, author Murray Rae turns to the spatial arts, especially architecture, to investigate how the art forms engaged in the construction of our built environment relate to Christian faith. Rae does not offer a theology of the spatial arts, but instead engages in a sustained theological conversation with the spatial arts. Because the spatial arts are public, visual, and communal, they wield an immense but easily overlooked influence. Architecture and Theology overcomes this inattention by offering new ways of thinking about the theological importance of space and place in our experience of God, the relation between freedom and law in Christian life, the transformation involved in God's promised new creation, biblical anticipation of the heavenly city, divine presence and absence, the architecture of repentance and remorse, and the relation between space and time. In doing so, Rae finds an ample place for theology amidst the architectural arts.
