by Calvin G. Seerveld · 1980

+ Want to read

Germinal essays showing how imaginativity can invigorate daily life, including schooling, and why "allusivity" is key to artistry. The biblical charter for Christians making art is spelled out, and suggestions are given for working communally at a redemptive culture amid our brilliant, needy artworld. (Toronto Tuppence Press)
