The Art of New Creation

Arts & Literature

“From music to painting to film, this volume brings theologians and practicing artists together to imagine God's new creation that, as Begbie highlights, is 'before us' but not yet realized. This mind-bending idea begs for embodied expression, and our cultural moment—rife with fear and injustice—needs those who can transform our imaginations for a new world to come. This collection is an enlivening contribution to the theology and arts conversation, which can often be abstract in its conclusions and outcomes. Instead, we are offered perspectives revealing that the integration of theology and the arts can be a vital nexus from which to imagine God's new creation in our broken world.”
