Book Description:
Artists are more than creatives; they are stewards of truth, goodness, and beauty.
In To Set the World Aflame, W. David O. Taylor offers artists a vision for their vocation and encouragement in their life and work. He explores how artists help us to come fully alive and make sense of our world in deeply meaningful ways.
Drawing together insights from Scripture, history, theology, aesthetics, missiology, and spiritual formation, To Set the World Aflame explores how artists are called to be
● caretakers of the imagination, custodians of the emotions, and stewards of the senses;
● makers of life who shape the imaginations of others and serve the common good;
● wholly alive and wholly themselves; and
● witnesses to creation as the theater of God’s glory and grace.
Artists infuse our lives with aesthetic vibrancy and invest it with meaning in a way that enables us to enter into the fullness of God’s re-creative purposes for our world. They set the world aflame with their creative activities and thereby reflect the glory of God’s own artistry.
To Set the World Aflame shows artists how all that they make–from art installations and moving pictures to graphic novels, gourmet meals, and Gothic cathedrals–brings us into an intentional and intensive experience of the aesthetic aspect of our lives. Here readers will find a theology of art and beauty that calls Christian creatives to their highest purpose.
