Can art be a vehicle of hope  stirring that wondrous if elusive capacity in human beings to imagine a more just  humane  and joyful future? Through critical and contemplative engagement with classics in music  film  literature  and visual arts  Christopher Pramuks The Artist Alive: Explorations in Music  Art \u0026amp; Theology invites us to explore these and other questions. Attentive to the deep longings of the human and spiritual journey  Pramuk posits the arts as a doorway into the life of spirit and sacred presence. Rather than proposing answers  he outlines a way of seeing  hearing  and praying through some of lifes most enduring spiritual and theological questions. With more than a dozen case studies featuring various artists  prompts for contemplative practices  and a focus on todays most urgent social and spiritual issues  The Artist Alive weaves a spirituality of wonder  resistance  and hope: a prophetic response to the utilitarian  militarized  marketplace vision of reality that bears down upon and dehumanizes so many in our time. Through loving examination of artists and their art  Pramuk convincingly conveys the possibility of a more humane and joyful way of being in the world.????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45646640906293,"sku":"ByrdShop_1599828383","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781599828381.jpg?v=1781676615","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-artist-alive-explorations-in-music-art-and-theology-9781599828381","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
