ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Calvin Miller was born in Enid, Oklahoma. He graduated from Enid High School and attended Oklahoma Baptist University, graduating with a B.S. degree in 1958. He attended Midwestern
Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City, graduating witha Master of Divinity degree in
1961 and a Doctor of Ministry degree in 1975.

In 1959 he was married to Barbara Joyce

Harman. They are the parents of two children: Melanie, born February 22, 1962 and Timothy,

born July 30, 1963. His first full-time pastorate was Plattsmouth Baptist Church, Plattsmouth, Nebraska, 1961-1966.  He went to Westside Church, Omaha, Nebraska, in January 1966,
where he served as senior pastor for 25 years.  During his pastorate the congregation grew
from 10 members to more than 2500 members.  From 1991-1998, Miller served as Professor of Communication and Ministry Studies and
Writer-in-Residence at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Ft. Worth, Texas. 
In January 1999, he joined the faculty of
Samford University’s Beeson Divinity School

He is the author of more than forty books of popular theology and inspiration.  His poems
and free-lance articles have appeared in
various journals and magazines such as
Christianity Today
, Campus Life, Leadership,
and His.  He has served as an inspirational
speaker in various assemblies and religious convocations, both in his own denomination
and other Christian gatherings.

Dr. Miller believes in the primacy of evangelism
for the church in every age.  In his own church ministry he has sought to be both a
contemporary apologist, helping the church
provide answers for a secular culture, and the equipper of the contemporary church for the
task of missions and evangelism.  His most
recent books and articles have dealt with spirituality as a journey and the pilgrimage
which strives for union with Christ.

"Life is Mostly Edges - A Memoir"  by Calvin Miller

Calvin Miller has for a long time been one of our Christian community's best story tellers.  This is one of his best: the richly textured narrative of his becoming a Christian, becoming a pastor, becoming a professor.  None of these "becomings" easy; all them poignant, painful, and praise-filled.

The Message

Surreality Prints by Calvin Miller

Surreality is a word formed by conjoining the English word reality and a French preposition “sur”, meaning over or ­upon.   Realism in art was a movement that aimed to paint all subject matter exactly as it was in nature and prided itself on how “camera close” it came to capturing reality.  But the surrealists were artists who could see that the real nature of reality was not an issue of photorealism.  Reality was in a sense spiritual.  The true nature of things surpassed the camera, and could never be painted as what might be seen with the natural eye.  In this series of paintings is an attempt to get at true reality, by juxtaposing images that get at the real heart of faith.  Such is the impression laid down by these watercolors.  Let us consider these five paintings, one at a time.
