Loving God With the Arts offers a concise answer to the question of what it means to please God in our artistic production and engagement. It does this by engaging with topics such as:

• How does the Christian warfare for personal holiness relate to artistic production?
• How does God’s word direct us regarding our fallenness and susceptibility to temptation?
• What is the legitimate place of Beauty, Deformity, and the Sublime, in art?
• How do the various art forms address us differently, and how does this relate to the morality of art?

In a time of unprecedented access to entertainment, this book provides a Biblical foundation investigating the way art can affect us for good or evil, both on an individal and societal level.
