But, says W. David O. Taylor, that only tells half of the story. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Taylor examines Calvin's trinitarian theology as it intersects his doctrine of the physical creation in order to argue for a positive theological account of the liturgical arts. He does so believing that Calvin's theology can serve, perhaps surprisingly, as a rich resource for understanding the theological purposes of the arts in corporate worship. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Drawing on Calvin's \u003ci\u003eInstitutes\u003c\/i\u003e, biblical commentaries, sermons, catechisms, treatises, and worship orders, this book represents one of the most thorough investigations available of John Calvin's theology of the physical creation--and the promising possibilities it opens up for the formative role of the arts in worship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
