“Dr Rookmaaker often made the point that when we stop talking about an artist, that artist dies. These collected works bring together, for the first time, the range of Rookmaaker’s thinking on the arts and culture: our conversation with him is alive and well. Like all human endeavour, these volumes are rooted in a particular place and time. However, you will find much more than you expect which is of real, continuing importance in shaping a Christian response to our time and place.”
“As a cultural analyst, Rookmaaker anticipated the postmodern erasure of the split between high and low culture and pointed out guidelines for a meaningful involvement in both. He embodied the Christian calling to engage in a fruitful and wise way in the culture of the present day.”
Most of the writings compiled in volumes 1 and 2 date from before 1960.
