- Abstract
- The church, throughout its history and motivated by the teachings of the Bible, has sought to assist people in finding meaning and direction in life. To this end it has used visual art to help people understand its message and increase people’s openness to the Bible’s redemptive story. After the Reformation, the emergent Protestant church had a more tenuous relationship with visual art, giving priority to oral forms of communication. Many small protestant congregations in current multi-faith Australia have little relationship with visual art and struggle to convey their message to the Australian society. A renewal of the church’s relationship with visual art is needed. This thesis including the exhibition employs a theology of creativity, hermeneutical skills and artistic reflection to illustrate how a (re)visioning of the church-art relationship can help the church in its work and worship.; Master of Arts (Visual Arts) by Research
