Annotation

In today's highly-connected world, many people are still unfamiliar with the "good news" of Christianity. How do we invite them to think afresh about the Christian message and the Christian faith? What is the role of the arts in mission? How could we explore ideas about mission as artists? This book seeks to address and answer these questions by showing the potential of the arts in impacting the life and mission of the church. It suggests how the arts can enhance worship and witness, and help to transform the wider world. It demonstrates what being a "missional artist" means - explaining how the two parts of that vocation fit together - and examines the nurture and training that such artists need.
