Art historian, critic, and curator Daniel Siedell, addresses this question and presents a framework for interpreting art from a Christian worldview in \u003ci\u003eGod in the Gallery: A Christian Embrace of Modern Art\u003c\/i\u003e. As such, it is an excellent companion to Francis Schaeffer's classic \u003ci\u003eArt and the Bible\u003c\/i\u003e. Divided into three parts--\"Theology,\" \"History,\" and \"Practice\"--\u003ci\u003eGod in the Gallery \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates that art is in conversation with and not opposed to the Christian faith. In addition, this book is beautifully enhanced with images from such artists as Andy Warhol, Jackson Pollock, Enrique Martínez Celaya, and others. Readers of this book will include professors, students, artists, and anyone interested in Christianity and culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIs contemporary art a friend or foe of Christianity? In \u003ci\u003eGod in the Gallery\u003c\/i\u003e art historian, critic, and curator Daniel Siedell constructs a framework for interpreting modern art from a Christian worldview. He contends that art is not antithetical or hostile to Christianity but is in resonant dialogue with it. Siedell also examines the function of art criticism and the role of visual art in Christian worship and experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Dan Siedell is an exceptionally thoughtful and articulate observer of the very difficult intersection of religious belief and contemporary art. The book is full of unexpected and promising confluences. Here a reader will find the principal secular theorists of modernism, but this book is also 'nourished by Nicene Christianity' and informed by a wonderful range of authors, from Florensky, Levinas, and Wyschogrod to Seerveld, Wolterstorff, Walford, and Dyrness. This is a tremendous book, a genuine effort at dialogue in an arena marked by the near-complete absence of open exchange.\"--\u003cb\u003eJames Elkins\u003c\/b\u003e, E. C.

An Emmaus Road encounter for those traveling on the path of contemporary art, Siedell's careful and loving attention paid to known and unknown artists will surely open our eyes. A must read for all of us laboring in the art world and in the arts academia.\"--\u003cb\u003eMakoto Fujimura\u003c\/b\u003e, artist; founder\/creative director, International Arts Movement \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Daniel Siedell's passionate appreciation for common grace is apparent on every page of \u003ci\u003eGod in the Gallery\u003c\/i\u003e.
