The Creative Gift, Dürer, Dada and Desolation Row, PB (vol3)
Art and Entertainment; The Creative Gift; Articles on history, faith and culture, lifestyle, scholarship, and the Westminster discussions Through his early work, Art and Entertainment (1962), made available in English for the first time in this volume, and through The Creative Gift, a collection of essays put together shortly before his death in 1977, Rookmaaker speaks with a clear voice of expertise, faith and wisdom as he shepherds the reader through the bewildering jungle of art and popular culture. As a cultural analyst Rookmaaker anticipated the postmodern erasure of the split between high and low culture and pointed out guidelines for a meaningful involvement in both. The additional articles and discussions in this volume address the Christian calling to engage in a fruitful and wise way in the culture of the present day - focusing especially on the media, science and art history.
The Artistic Sphere
The Neo-Calvinist tradition is well-equipped to offer wisdom on the arts to the whole body of Christ. Edited by art scholar Roger Henderson and Marleen Hengelaar-Rookmaaker, daughter of Hans Rookmaaker, this volume brings together history, philosophy, and theology to consider the relationship between the arts and the Neo-Calvinist tradition.
Art Needs No Justification
"[Author] examines recent art, showing that its insignificance is due to the collapse of cultural values. At the same time Christians have lowered their aesthetic standards and failed to interact with contemporary culture. Ours is certainly a time for a response from Christian artist with the highest of aestihtic sensitivity"--Back cover.
Art as Spiritual Perception
A reader covering everything from sixth-century icons to contemporary art, this compilation offers a critical investigation of art history from a Christian perspective.
Art and the Christian Mind
Hans Rookmaaker's impact on the arts in the twentieth century was enormous. His wide range of intellectual and cultural concerns led him to explore many aspects of art, music, and philosophy during his lifetime, and he made important contributions as an art historian, professor, mentor, thinker, and author. Laurel Gasque examines Rookmaaker's life and shows how he incorporated his biblical beliefs into his teaching, writing, and interaction with the arts and individuals. She also explores the development of Rookmaaker's friendship with Francis A. Schaeffer and how each influenced the other, especially in grasping the vision that became L'Abri Fellowship. Gasque has rich material to draw from, including personal memories of her mentor and friend, conversations with Rookmaaker's family members, and the body of work he left behind. Her careful research and engaging writing style make this book an outstanding contribution to the world of Christian biography.
