Imagine. a vision for christians in the arts

the book- Imagine. a vision for christians in the arts by Steve turner. i want to buy. i read the pages on amazon. i like the ideas that Turner has of christians view of/on/about art. i definitely want to read the full text. i want to cut and paste some of what he said here- but amazon is stingy. i think saying that Christians should be active in popular art is spot on. how else will someone be able to truly affect the masses in a lasting manner. Popular art has often been vilified and seen as 'worldly' or 'secular' creating a division line between what is 'good' and what is 'bad' or Christians vs. everyone else. He also talks about christians being more interested in a person's testimony rather than their ability e.g. a rock musician's christian re-invention where he/she no longer sings death metal but christian music thereby leaving pop art behind. Turner makes some interesting points. One point i liked was this: it isnt the questions p
