Echoes of Eden: Reflections on Christianity, Literature, and the Arts by Jerram Barrs

4.0

The first half of the book was very enjoyable and contains some very important insights regarding Christianity and the arts. There is a heavy focus on literature, as the title suggests, and less on the visual or musical arts. This isn't a criticism, but if you are looking for more on those, you may want to look elsewhere. On the other hand, Barrs insights, especially in the first half, were applicable to all forms of art and beauty. The second half of the book is taken up with working through several key works of literature or canons of literature. This part was less useful, but still well done.
