| Summary: | We are, each one of us, situated in a particular place. As embodied creatures, as members of local communities and churches, as people who live in a specific location in the world, we all experience the importance of place. But what role does place play in the Christian life and how might our theology of place be cultivated? In this volume in IVP Academic's Studies in Theology and the Arts series, Jennifer Allen Craft argues that the arts are a significant form of plaemaking in the Christian life. Throught this practical theology of the arts, she shows how the arts can encourage us to be fully and imaginatively present in a variety of contexts, cultivate our theological imagination, give shape to the Christian life, and help to form us more and more into the image of Christ. |
