Art and Faith: A Theology of Making by Makoto Fujimura, N. T. WrightConceived over thirty years of painting and creating in his studio, this book is Makoto Fujimuras broad and deep exploration of creativity and the spiritual aspects of making. What he does in the studio is theological work as much as it is aesthetic work. In between pouring precious, pulverized minerals onto handmade paper to create the prismatic, refractive surfaces of his art, he comes into the quiet space in the studio in a discipline of awareness, waiting, prayer, and praise. Ranging from the Bible to T. S. Eliot, Mark Rothko, and Japanese Kintsugi technique, he shows how, unless we are making something, we cannot know the depth of Gods being and Gods grace permeating our lives. This poignant and beautiful book offers the perspective of, in Christian Wimans words, an accidental theologian, one who comes to spiritual questions always through the prism of art.
