Leland Ryken is Clyde S. Kilby Professor of English at Wheaton College. He has authored fourteen books including 'How to Read the Bible as Literature,' 'Worldly Saints: The Puritans as They Really Were,' and 'Work and Leisure in Christian Perspective.'
The arts--merely entertaining or indispensable?The arts belong to the Christian life. And in 'The Liberated Imagination,' author Leland Ryken explores the God-ordained significance of art--its nature and purpose in relating to truth and everyday life.For both artist and audience, for student, teacher, and critic, this book is a road to discovering how participation in art and the imagination leads to a more intense sharing in life's riches, a deeper celebration of all that God has created, and a new awareness of the wideness of his grace.
