Those Things Which Are Lovely

Dr. Bob Jones Jr. on Art, Culture and Civilization

Called an Elizabethan born out of time, a Renaissance man, Dr. Bob Jones Jr. was an individual unusually gifted by God in language, music and art. A poet, novelist, playwright, lyricist, stage and film actor, college president and chancellor—and preeminently a preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ—he used his multifaceted talents to defend the truth of God’s Word and enrich the lives of people around the world.

In this 287-page, full-color book, Archivist Keith Call has compiled a compelling collection of Dr. Jones’ creative output—his poetry and hymns, chapters from his novels and autobiography, personal letters revealing his forceful expression and unwavering conviction, a sermon describing the Altogether Lovely One, a play, and details of the development of the Bob Jones University Museum & Gallery.

The editor includes Dr. Jones’ discussion of the value of studying art from a Christian perspective and his commentary on many works of art in the Museum & Gallery Collection. You will be blessed and enriched as, through this anthology, you become better acquainted with this amazing servant of God.
