The Art of Art

Order the newest issue of Credenda here! Dig out one of your pop’s old shirts, put it on backward, and dive into the watercolors: the articles in this issue unpack just how imitation of God plays out in every area.

Get the take on art and liturgy from Toby Sumpter, and how that relates to falling asleep during a sermon.  How does marijuana relate to creativity? Find out from Joost Nixon (the answer is “not well,” by the way). What about creation and astronomy for high-schoolers? How does creativity relate to nature? Or to writing? Or to paintings of naked people and the pope?

Get all the discussion, exclusively in Credenda.

Bundling With Vampires

Posted on August 17, 2012 by brian

Find out how the teen bestseller Twilight is a “manual for abused women.”

BUNDLING WITH VAMPIRES
A Review of Twilight, One Bite at a Time
by Douglas Wilson

Bundling With Vampires: A Review of Twilight, One Bite at a Time is a chapter-by-chapter ebook review of the NYT-bestselling book by Stephanie Meyer. Besides delving into all the amusing aethetic dreck, these reviews demonstrate how Twilight equips and motivates girls to get themselves deep into abusive relationships. This ebook also includes Wilson’s Huffington Post article “50 Shades of Prey,” which explains why it’s no accident that the “mommy-porn” S&M bestseller 50 Shades of Grey began as Twilight fan-fiction.

We’d hate to ruin any of the ebook before you get your download, but there’s definitely some puns involving Dracula and dreck, combined with a lot of nice, insightful plain-speaking about the cultural phenomenon that is Twilight.

Plowing in Hope

Posted on March 7, 2011 by brian

Toward a Biblical Theology of Culture
 In my personal estimation, Plowing in Hope is one of the most under-appreciated Canon Press titles.

In an era that seems to be drifting further and further from Christian truth in the culture, Plowing in Hope is a very engaging and timely book. The main strength of it is that Dave Hegeman clearly articulates a definition of culture grounded in scripture. From there Hegeman paints a picture of what our original cultural mission in the Garden was and how we can renew that mission today.

Why should we care about culture? What can we learn from the fact that work was part of creation even before the fall? There has been a significant resurgence of interest in beauty, work, creativity, culture building, the arts ,and similar topics as of late by millennials and from public figures like Andy Crouch, Gabe Lyons, and Makoto Fujimura. I honestly wish that Dave Hegeman could join that list.

Plowing in Hope is one of the best contributions to that discussion and deserves much more attention that it has received up till now. Christians seeking to engage our culture need strong grounding in Biblical truth. We need to do our work in faith. We need to do our plowing in hope. And this book is a great tool in that mission.
