Putting Art (Back) in Its Place

---

Outline: Putting Art (Back) in Its Place takes readers on a fascinating journey through the world of Christian art in medieval and Renaissance Italy to rediscover the sacred role artwork can play once again in our churches. Christian discussions of contemporary art often brand artists as lone geniuses disconnected from our churches and our daily lives, and public art is trapped behind signs commanding, "Do not touch!" But it wasn't always this way. For centuries, works of art were commissioned and created to tell stories, inspire faith, and unify communities in their daily rhythms of work and worship. In medieval and Renaissance Italy, art filled the streets, churches, businesses, and halls of government. The whole body of Christ played a part in the creation and use of art that proclaimed the work of God in the life of his people. Art brought communities together. In order for Christians to foster a vibrant culture of the arts again, we must cultivate relationships among artists, patrons, scholars, communities, and the art they create. Using the masterworks of Italian art as a map for a return to the flourishing of the arts, Putting Art (Back) in Its Place allows us to think historically about the crucial role visual arts have played - and can play again - in the life and mission of the church.
