Western Humanities and Christian Thought

Western Humanities and Christian Thought is an introduction to the philosophy, visual arts, music, and theatre of Western civilization from Ancient Greece to our own times. This book is unique among surveys of humanities in several ways. First and foremost, it has a level of Christian thought permeating the entire book that goes beyond the surface, inviting students to think broadly and deeply about the relationship between faith and fine arts. Second, it contains a more robust discussion of music and theatre than other humanities textbooks. The book aims to present a balanced presentation of the visual arts, music, and theatre, all informed by the culture and philosophy of their era. Finally, Western Humanities and Christian Thought is designed to match the way that students of today learn. Available in both eBook and print form, both formats have the capacity to hyperlink immediately to musical examples in Napster, the digital music platform that is included with the purchase of the textbook.
