The Arts in Ministry and Missions

This text, an adaptation of a book published by Theological Book Trust in Bangalore, India, is a manual and discussion text on the each of the main disciplines referred to as the Arts. It includes "starter fluid" questions to engage the reader in the topics of Art, Dance, Theatre and Music, including an historical review of the use of the arts in historical and cultural contexts. While not comprehensive, it addresses these subjects in light of the contemporary world of churches today. The text is designed as a workbook with spaces for personal reflection or questions. This is meant to be employed in college, university and seminary classrooms to foster discussion on the use and value of each of these art forms. It is hoped that such use will provide the foundation for additional texts and videos on the subject.
