Title: The Life and Legacy of Bob Jones Jr.
Description: Many consider the BJU Museum & Gallery to be Dr. Bob Jr.'s greatest artistic legacy. In a very real sense that is fitting, for in the Gallery we see mirrored all of his most ardent passions: his love for truth, his love for beauty, and his love for sharing both with people. Join host Erin Jones as she shares highlights from Bob Jones Jr.'s life. A resource for world history, church history, and art. Suitable for teens and adults. This tribute focuses on the life and legacy of Dr. Bob Jones Jr., a "Renaissance man" who invested much in the lives of others. His father had a vision of a Christian University that could develop talent in the arts as part of students' Christian testimony. Dr. Bob Jones Jr. had the gifts and interests to bring that vision to life. This program explores his interests in stage production, opera, film roles, and the establishment of the Museum & Gallery. Interviews with faculty members, family, friends, art historians, directors of art galleries, and other leaders in the art world give the viewer an appreciation of the widespread influence and richness of Dr. Bob's life. Excerpts from sermons show his love of God and his preaching ability within the context of the whole man. The dialogue includes a statement on the role that fine art plays in Christian life. This program will be an enjoyable experience even for those who never met Dr. Bob. - Publisher.
