Paperback edition. ISBN: 9781465283207.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA Creative Church: The Arts and a Century of Renewal examines key developments from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to the present. Throughout the 20th century, there were numerous efforts to incorporate the arts into church life. These efforts have led to the formation of a distinctly Christian worldview of the arts, with philosophical, theological, and practical implications. Many trace their roots back to 19th century developments such as the Oxford movement, Holiness camp meetings, singing conventions, the Chautauqua movement and more.\nIndividuals from diverse backgrounds―Protestants, Catholics, clergy, theologians, philosophers, artists, and parishioners―have wrestled with fundamental questions about the role of the arts in the church and its role in shaping culture. This book seeks to explore significant developments that have shaped what has become a worldwide movement. The second edition includes updated new content, student videos, clickable media and other interactive elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"KENDALL HUNT PUBLISHING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44946482397237,"sku":"ByrdShop_146528320X","price":96.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781465283207_d7dc3f61-e00e-4fb8-88a3-1ac6d8bb7b94.jpg?v=1778630281","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-creative-church-the-arts-and-a-century-of-renewal-9781465283207","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
