Art mixes all those categories for the eye, ear and heart. Art is not a photograph or videotape. It bursts out of the soul, from the hands and the paintbrushes of the artist. And, in unexpected ways, art draws us nearer to Jesus the Christ. Such art is often controversial in its time.
Some visual representations offend, even as they bless.
They also force us to think about Jesus and ourselves in new and different ways. Reprinted with permission from FaithWorks magazine . Inc. All rights reserved. Use of this site is subject to Terms of Service and to our Privacy Policy . Constructed by Beliefnet.
