Reviews

This brief, very crisply and lucidly written book makes a brilliantly and distinctly personal contribution to the ongoing discussions around faith and the creative imagination. -Rowan Williams Makoto Fujimura's art and writings have been a true inspiration to me. In this luminous book, he addresses the question of art and faith and their reconciliation with a quiet and moving eloquence. -Martin Scorsese Here a world-class painter and cultural critic reinterprets both the creative act and the nature of Christian faith in a way that should interest anyone concerned with the indispensable role of the creative imagination in human flourishing. -Ellen Davis, Duke Divinity School Makoto Fujimura is the rare artist whose life has something of the same purifying and galvanizing force of his work. His new book brings those two elements-life and art-even closer together, and is a real tonic for our atomized time. -Christian Wiman In the presence of the beautiful 'we act like someone who is all ears and eyes: beauty has something to say to us,' wrote Nietzsche. Reading this book, I fell silent and became all ears and eyes. -Miroslav Volf, Yale Divinity School
