Is the evangelical world experiencing something of an artistic renaissance? An article by Eric Gorski looks at the increased attention being paid to creativity and art in evangelical churches, seminaries, and films. The article highlights painter Makoto Fujimura as “a role model for creatively wired evangelicals”—he’s an elder at his church whose striking abstract paintings are informed by his faith. Gorski goes on to discuss the broader trend towards increased artistic engagement through the church. Very interesting stuff; also see this commentary over at GetReligion.
