Reflections on the Process of Creating Paintings: Reclaiming the Sacred and the Future in a World that seems to be Dying

Douglas Purnell

Theology

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

In this paper, I want to reflect on the process involved in being a pastoral theologian who is also a painter and creative artist. I hope that reflecting on the process of creating paintings might be helpful for thinking about God and God's role as Creator with the whole created order. I will leave the reader to make the specific connections.
