The Mind of the Maker
by Dorothy L. Sayers
From the very first pages of Genesis, it is clear that God and man are united by a single quality of life: the ability to create great works out of nothing. More than any other group, artists feel encouraged to be creative, and this encouragement brings them closer to God. By thinking about humanity's creative appeal, we can better understand God's works, and by reading the principles of Christianity in depth, we can better understand the creative spirit of man. Dorothy L. Sayers explores the concept of the Holy Trinity in the context of invention: creative idea, creative energy, creative power. In this exploratory, large-scale thesis, one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century, he shows us what it means to be an artist and what it takes to create humanity.
