Art and Faith: A Theology of Making
From a world-renowned painter, an exploration of creativityâs quintessentialâand often overlookedârole in the spiritual life
"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 elementsâlife and artâeven closer together, and is a real tonic for our atomized time." âChristian Wiman
Â
Conceived over thirty years of painting and creating in his studio, this book is Makoto Fujimuraâs broad and deep exploration of creativity and the spiritual aspects of âmaking.â 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.
Â
Ranging from the Bible to T. S. Eliot, and from Mark Rothko to Japanese Kintsugi technique, he shows how unless we are making something, we cannot know the depth of Godâs being and Godâs grace permeating our lives. This poignant and beautiful book offers the perspective of, in Christian Wimanâs words, âan accidental theologian,â one who comes to spiritual questions always through the prism of art.
