'DAVID THISTLETHWAITE is an artist who has also studied art history, researched art theory, and dealt in Old Master and Modern British art for a leading Bond Street gallery. This collection of essays contains material that spans his career and adds to the ideas explored in his earlier book The Art of God and the Religions of Art.
The essays, summarising Thistlethwaite’s main thesis regarding art, tell the story of how those ideas developed as his career played out. Thistlethwaite writes out of an appreciation for the approaches to art originally developed by Francis Schaeffer and Hans R. Rookmaaker. These aim to identify and criticise the world-view expressed through the work of artists and to encourage art that reflects a Christian world-view.'
