James McCullough is an adjunct instructor at Lindenwood University. He has published articles on the music of Anton Bruckner as well as on the art of Graham Sutherland and Makoto Fujimura.
""What is art? How is it formed? What does it do? Does it, or can it, illuminate, animate, express, and catalyze spirituality--the perception and experience of the presence of God? McCullough answers all these questions, but explains as well how each person who understands the answers will have much to do--much attention, much contemplation, much silence. Indeed, McCullough plumbs the depth of puzzlement of the arts and the wonderful enlightenment of spirituality."" --James W. Sire, former editor of InterVarsity Press ""Just as Martin Thornton and Diogenes Allen rediscovered theology's inherent relation to Christian spirituality, so James McCullough here does the same for the theology and art conversation. Heeding T. S. Eliot's call to transform 'esthetic sensibility . . . into spiritual perception, and spiritual perception . . . into esthetic sensibility, ' McCullough deftly calls attention to the elephant in the aesthetics seminar room: the way that art catalyzes spiritual growth."" --Matthew Milliner, Associate Professor of Art, Wheaton College
