Faithlife should be embarrassed by their limited catalogue of resources exploring scripture through the arts. This book of essays is one step towards a more balanced library.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

  • I agree... I am no artist or musician and so I've always enjoyed all the things my church has done to promote the arts as a form of Christian ministry and expression (just this past Good Friday we were blessed by Jason Hildebrand who brought us his Jesus Stories), and to teach us how Christ has had His impact on the arts. I think we could all use this in an increasingly "ugly" world.
