Description:The Ministry of Vincent Van Gogh in Religion and Art surveys the historical venues where Van Gogh's life and work unfolded--Aldersgate, England, Amsterdam, Au Borinage, Antwerp, Asnieres-sur-Seine, Arles, Auvers-sur-Oise--culminating in an assessment of his legacy. Arguing that he is a painter-evangelist, a man of authentic religious calling, it demonstrates a novel thesis that theological spirituality is the genius of both his religious ministry and his art.Endorsements:"One hopes readers will find or even join the figurative, spiritual journey on which this book thrives."--Martin Marty, Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus, University of Chicago"It has been a pleasure to watch this wonderful work on Van Gogh unfold."--Cliff Edwards, author of Van Gogh and God, The Shoes of Van Gogh, and Mystery of the Night CafeAbout the Contributor(s):Ken Vaux is Emeritus Professor of Theology at Garrett Seminary and the Graduate Faculty of Northwestern University.
