Liberating Form

Marden Clark consummates his three decades of work at Brigham Young University with Liberating Form, a collection of his most vital essays. Ranging from art to science to Zion, the essays focus on the struggles of a "chosen" people searching for their voice within - yet without - a greater culture. He isolates many of the paradoxes peculiar to his people and searches for meaningful and faithful reconciliation. He explains the freedom of form within the structure of the gospel, the power of the Spirit to affect art, and the remarkable implications of eternal agency. Revealing the tensions inherent in Mormon literature and study, Clark brings a clear and confident voice to the spiraling questions of objective and faithful scholarship. --- from book's back cover
