Arts Ministry

Church Leadership & Ministry

“For anyone wanting to explore the field of arts ministry, this book is a superb and remarkably comprehensive primer. Whether readers are most interested in the theological, aesthetic, or practical aspect, they will discover a solid foundation along with a generous list of resources for further study and application. Best of all, Michael Bauer's perspective is a refreshing antidote to the frequent laments I hear about the current `decline of artistic standards' in the church. . . . Bauer's enthusiasm for the work of the Spirit in the church today is contagious! I recommend this book heartily to professional artists, clerics, and laypersons alike.”
