![]() ![]() This stunning book by Heidi Hornik is a rich resource for Christian reflection and action. Balentine, Professor of Old Testament and Director of Graduate Studies, Union Presbyterian Seminary To walk with her through the visuals assembled here is to embark on what she aptly describes as a ‘pilgrimage’ without doubt our journey will lead us far beyond the trifling. In this work, Heidi Hornik shows us how art can transform our sensitivities to contemporary moral issues and attune us to beauty and virtue that brings us closer to God. Art can lead the faithful who reflect on it to become not only "hearers" and "seers" of the Word-but "doers" as well. It reveals the ethics of works not associated with the church but of value to contemporary Christians. The Art of Christian Reflection paints the church’s art as not only a courageous witness to the truth and reality of the gospel, but as an act of discipleship. Hornik also discusses art’s influence on moral issues such as racism, prisons, violence, poverty, and environmentalism as well as historic Christian praxes such as prayer, work, Bible study, and worship. Specifically, Hornik explores how art may foster Christian virtues such as forgiveness, patience, and generosity. Over eighty different pieces of art-paintings, sculptures, and architecture-are the subject of Hornik’s careful analysis and commentary, which highlights the ethical implications inherent to each work. In The Art of Christian Reflection, art historian Heidi Hornik reconnects art to ethics, beauty to behavior, and form to function in classical artwork. Christian art was never intended for mere enjoyment, but was used to express the most important features of Christian faith and to suggest models for Christian practices.
