review 1: I had to read this book for school and went into it really hoping for a book that Discussed things like whether or not art is important for life, or some in-depth studies of specific pieces of art. It turned out to be just another worldview catalogue. It finally did get to some interesting stuff in the Epilogue, but I wish the the whole book had been like the epilogue, instead of just having a small section of it.
review 2: A deep look at the cultural splits in worldviews, their implications, and how to "see" the worldviews in art. Its dense, a very long 270 pages. Sometimes I wanted to pigeonhole this book into "how Christians should look at art" but it's much more than that. It goes into philosophy, history, and psychology that created art. Very interesting.... more Worth reading, but don't pick it up if you only want to learn a Christian perspective on art. There are probably more concise works on that topic; probably not very many that are quite this holistic. less
