Want to read a book that lays the foundation for a Christian view of art? This is a book worth reading concerning this topic. It is written by Philip Graham Ryken. Ryken is the president of Wheaton College which has been compared to as the Evangelical Harvard. In under a hundred pages Ryken establishes a Christian worldview of art. I read this aloud with my wife as part of our night’s devotional read and we both enjoyed it. In addition I enjoyed it enough that half way through the book I had to order it online as a gift for an artist in our church.
