      The book delves into the evolution of Reformed theology from sixteenth-century Geneva to Puritan New England, highlighting its impact on visual culture. While the tradition limited certain artistic expressions, it fostered new forms in popular culture and social structures. Through an examination of Calvin's theology, the author illustrates how this tradition cultivated an aesthetic characterized by simplicity, inwardness, and order, reflecting deeper theological beliefs.

    • How Does America Hear the Gospel?

      This is a print on demand book and is therefore non- returnable. In this book Dyrness explores the relationship between the biblical gospel and American culture. He shows how three dominant American cultural values -- pragmatism, optimism, and individualism -- have both a positive and negative impact on our Christian discipleship, looks at Walter Rauschenbusch and Robert Schuller as case studies, and sets out a distinctively American way of appropriating the gospel.
