Art is all around you. Yet few of us can effectively explain why certain movies, books, plays and songs resonate so profoundly within us, and more importantly how they attest to God's character.
Professor Jerram Barrs gives us the three key elements for evaluating great art. He then puts those qualifiers to the test by investigating five of the world's most influential authors - empowering us to better understand the character of God and helping others to know him too.
"Echoes of Eden is the most accessible, readable, and yet theologically robust work on Christianity and the arts that you will be able to find. It is biblical, theologically sound, filled with examples, and edifying. It anticipates and answers well all the most common questions that evangelical people ask about the arts. I highly recommend it."?
- Timothy J. Keller, Pastor, Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York City; author, The Reason for God
