  • A Prophet in the Darkness - Exploring Theology in the Art of Georges Rouault - cover

    A Prophet in the Darkness -...

    Many consider Georges Rouault (1871–1958) to be one of the most important religious painters of the last few centuries. Yet both the secular art world and the church have struggled to engage with his work, which is profoundly shaped by his Christian faith and also starkly explores the pain and darkness of human experience.
    In this volume, a group of theologians, artists, and historians seek to bring Rouault out of the shadows. They offer a deeper understanding of the theological impulse of modern art and of Rouault's distinct contributions. Chapters explore how Rouault's unique work was influenced by his historical context, by personal suffering, and by biblical themes, especially the Passion of Christ. Essays are interspersed with original artistic responses to Rouault in the form of images and poetry, with contributions from Sandra Bowden, William A. Dyrness, Thomas Hibbs, Soo Kang, and others.
    Rouault displays our need for mercy within a world of anguish. This book explores how his prophetic creativity continues to inspire artists and thinkers seeking to understand the powerful intersection of lament and hope.
    The Studies in Theology and the Arts  series encourages Christians to thoughtfully engage with the relationship between their faith and artistic expression, with contributions from both theologians and artists on a range of artistic media including visual art, music, poetry, literature, film, and more.

    The rise of the Kamakura Shogunate marks a pivotal moment in Japanese history, transitioning from the aristocratic Heian period to the feudal system dominated by the samurai. This era began with the victory of Minamoto no Yoritomo, who, after the Genpei War (1180-1185), established a new form of governance centered in Kamakura, a small coastal town far from the imperial capital of Kyoto. 
    The Genpei War was a civil conflict between the Taira and Minamoto clans, which ultimately ended with the defeat of the Taira in the Battle of Dan-no-ura in 1185. Minamoto no Yoritomo, the leader of the Minamoto clan, emerged as the victor, but his triumph was not simply a personal or clan-based success. Yoritomo's victory laid the foundation for a shift in the political landscape of Japan. The Taira had represented the old courtly aristocracy that governed Japan through the imperial system, but the rise of the Minamoto signaled the beginning of samurai dominance and a move toward military rule. 
    In 1192, Yoritomo was granted the title of shogun by the emperor, an act that formalized his military authority. This title, meaning "generalissimo" or "commander of the army," was traditionally given to military leaders in times of war but had never been used as the primary governing title before. This marked the official beginning of the Kamakura Shogunate, a military dictatorship that would rule Japan for over a century. Though the emperor remained the nominal ruler, Yoritomo’s power was based in Kamakura, far from the imperial court, which shifted the balance of power from the capital to the military elite.

    The southern Indian kingdoms played a crucial role in shaping the history and culture of the subcontinent. Among them, the Chera, Chola, and Pandya dynasties stood out for their military power, economic influence, and contributions to art and literature.  
    The Chera Dynasty, known for its control over important trade routes, established strong maritime links with Rome, China, and Southeast Asia.  
    The Chola Empire, one of the most formidable powers of medieval India, expanded its influence beyond the Indian subcontinent, boasting a powerful navy and an advanced administrative system.  
    The Pandya Empire, with its deep roots in Tamil culture, was known for its patronage of Sangam literature and its strategic dominance over key trade centers. These dynasties not only shaped the political landscape of southern India but also contributed to its rich artistic, architectural, and literary heritage. Through their extensive trade networks and cultural achievements, the Cheras, Cholas, and Pandyas left an enduring legacy that continues to influence South Indian traditions today.

    Spotify has changed the way we listen to and share music in a dynamic, profound and irreversible way. Fans across the world can access songs, albums and entire back catalogs at the click of a button, and the artists behind the music get paid for every one of those streams. 
    Isn’t that incredible? Music labels are no longer a necessity. The power is in the creators’ hands more than ever before. 
    But it isn’t just a case of releasing a song onto Spotify and hoping for the best. With over 60,000 new songs being uploaded to Spotify each day, the main question for the contemporary musician is now this: 
    How do you get your music heard in such a crowded marketplace?  
    Enter Chris Greenwood, a.k.a. the award-winning Canadian rock artist Manafest. 
    With a million monthly Spotify listeners and 130 million streams, Chris knows how to harness the power of this incredible music sharing platform. He understands how to trigger the algorithm, how to pitch and get added to editorial playlists, and how to co-create with other artists to enhance your profile and your reach. He’s a virtuoso of marketing and promotion, and his Waterfall Release Strategy (shared in detail in the book) has been one of the keys to his own phenomenal success on Spotify. 
    But mostly, Chris knows how to reach people. And in this era, if you want to be both a financially lucrative andcreatively fulfilled musician, you need to build a fanbase and keep it growing. That’s how you get streams, and that’s how you make a profit on Spotify. 
    This book is the result of over a decade of careful research, thoughtful experimentation, and ultimately the mastering of Spotify. 
    Chris’ career has grown in tandem with rise of Spotify, and there is no better, more inspiring, or more direct guide for your journey into the new singles economy than this.
