Table of ContentsReviewsDrawing together cultural analysis, student narratives, theological reflection, and spiritual formation, Matthew Niermann makes a clear case that creativity is far more than technique and know-how. Vices, rooted in self-absorption under the guise, 'be true to yourself, ' are not just moral issues, but thwart creativity. An important and readable book for our times! --Dennis P. Hollinger, President Emeritus and Senior Distinguished Professor of Christian Ethics, Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary Our world puts a high price on creativity today--but what is often sold in this exchange is the soul of the creative. This is why The Humble Creative is such an important project. Here, author Matthew Niermann shows us that the first work of creativity is the moral and spiritual formation of the creative. This book draws our eyes (and other senses) heavenward, helping us remember and rethink how God recreates creative people and renews our creativity. Matthew Niermann proves a thoughtful and helpful guide, walking us through the vices all creatives face to help us find our way to a life of flourishing. --J. Ryan Lister, Professor of Theology, Western Seminary; Director of Doctrine and Discipleship, Humble Beast; and co-author of Images and Idols: Creativity for the Christian Life Author InformationMatthew Niermann is Associate Professor of Architecture and Creativity, and is the Associate Dean of the College of Architecture, Visual Arts, and Design at California Baptist University.
