Hans Rookmaaker's impact on the arts in the twentieth century  was enormous. His wide range of intellectual and cultural concerns  led him to explore many aspects of art, music, and philosophy  during his lifetime, and he made important contributions as an art  historian, professor, mentor, thinker, and author.  Laurel Gasque examines Rookmaaker's life and shows how he  incorporated his biblical beliefs into his teaching, writing, and  interaction with the arts and individuals. She also explores the  development of Rookmaaker's friendship with Francis A. Schaeffer  and how each influenced the other, especially in grasping the  vision that became L'Abri Fellowship.  Gasque has rich material to draw from, including personal  memories of her mentor and friend, conversations with Rookmaaker's  family members, and the body of work he left behind. Her careful  research and engaging writing style make this book an outstanding  contribution to the world of Christian biography.
