An expanded text of “The Gift of Art: The Place of the Arts in Scripture”, the design of the text is to inform Christian readers of the need to redeem art. Included in the Classical Conversations Challenge II Debate curriculum, the span of this text starts from Bezalel, the biblical artist commissioned to design the temple art for Israel, and then juxtaposes this with Robert Mapplethorpe, showing the need of redemption in art. Parents, it is advised to research who Mapplethorpe was and his art before handing this text to students. This will help facilitate conversations so you are not caught off guard. Black and white photos of notable works of art are found and can lead to further research to see these wonderful pieces in color or even in real life. The premise of the text is to create, acknowledge, and appreciate God-honoring art. Pgs. 252 | pb ~Rebecca

Description
Publisher's Description of State of the Arts: From Bezalel to Mapplethorpe
We cannot escape the arts. They permeate our lives and our culture—the décor, architecture, music, entertainment, everyday utensils. The imagination of this age, its ideas and concerns, percolate throughout the culture via the arts. These ideas affect us for good or for evil. The choice is not whether to live with art; we must choose whether to live with good art or bad art. Art—like all things human—needs to be redeemed. Christians cannot abandon the arts to the secular world, but can use them to display God's glory. This book will help us develop an informed artistic taste, open yet critical, discerning yet appreciative of what is truly excellent.
