The focus is on quality, which is worth much discussion. Another sign is durability. Great art lasts. The last concept is praise . Here we are concerned with the impact or the effect of the art.
Great art can have power and is therefore a forceful tool of communication.
It can encourage a culture to lofty heights, and it can help bring a culture to ruin. Thus it is my hope that we will pursue the artistic dimensions of our lives with intelligence and imagination. The world needs to see and hear from Christians committed to art for the glory of God. Probe Ministries International Notes 1. About the Author James F.
