Arts Ministry: Nurturing the Creative Life of God's People

Christian life is integrated and whole; it involves the body, the mind, and the spirit. Michael Bauer's "Arts Ministry" accordingly employs a holistic approach in exploring the fine arts, human creativity, and ministry as they are integrated in our individual lives and in the life of the church.Bauer lays a solid foundation for arts ministry, grounding it in the historic Christian tradition and urging churches to expand their engagement with the creative arts. He provides short descriptions of eighteen exemplary organizations with arts ministries to inspire similar efforts and to "celebrate" the continuing creative activity of God in the church.
