Publisher Description:
Synopsis: 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 Cafe Author Biography: Ken Vaux is Emeritus Professor of Theology at Garrett Seminary and the Graduate Faculty of Northwestern University. The research was accomplished while a guest scholar at Cambridge University, The Protestant Faculty of the Sorbonne, Paris, and Van Gogh centers in Antwerp and Amsterdam.
