Placemaking and the Arts

Arts & Literature

“After a couple of generations of neglect and disinvestment, I'm delighted to see that place is being rediscovered within the Christian community as an important aspect of human flourishing. Placemaking and the Arts makes a significant contribution to this movement. In this book Craft develops a comprehensive theological framework for thinking about how the arts can help place us in time, space, and community. And she makes a convincing case for how art must play a critical role in any recovery of place. Many have expressed concern about the place of art in contemporary life; Craft helpfully extends this conversation to consider the role of art in place (and placemaking). Highly recommended.”

The House of DunRaven

Fiction

“Reading The House of DunRaven, I had an experience not unlike I had when I first read the Narnia series. I found myself thinking, 'Wouldn't it be cool to be in this story?' And then I realized that, in some ways, I already was. Like Lewis, Lympus weaves a wholly original tale that beautifully intersects with biblical themes and storylines.”
