But the Bible offers a robust affirmation of the arts. The human impulse to create reflects our being created in the image of a creator God.\u003ci\u003eArt and the Bible\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehas been a foundational work for generations of Christians in the arts. In this book's classic essays, Francis Schaeffer first examines the scriptural record of the use of various art forms, and then establishes a Christian perspective on art. With clarity and vigor, Schaeffer explains why \"the Christian is the one whose imagination should fly beyond the stars.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eForeword by Michael Card\u003cbr\u003eI.
