Christianity and the Arts

Andy_Warhol_ptg.jpgAs the lead worshiper in my church I am often the de facto go-to-guy for questions concerning Christianity and the Arts. This is understandable since I am a musician, painter, and of course, a Christian. Over the years I have been steadily building my library and searching all over Al Gore's Superhighway to find meaningful ways to express a Biblical philosophy of the arts as a means of understanding, encouraging and spurring on other Christian artists. 

I came across an article today by Professor Jerram Barrs entitled Christianity and Arts that I highly recommend. Professor Barrs has been greatly influenced by Francis Schaeffer and C.S. Lewis, and served for many years at L'abri Fellowship in England while also pastoring the International Presbyterian Church. He is the resident scholar of the Francis Schaeffer Institute at Covenant Theological Seminary. Click here to read.
