“Where would art historians be if they knew nothing of the Bible? How much sense would Rembrandt’s Prodigal Son make without the story it illustrates?” ~ Sandra Glahn

My friend, LeAnne Martin, has a new feature at Christians in the Arts called the Roundtable. Recently she interviewed fiction writer, teacher, and speaker Sandra Glahn:

LeAnne:
Why do you think Christians should care about the arts?

Sandra:
The Bible is filled with places where we see God’s passion for art. In Genesis He makes the world, animals, humanity.

In Leviticus we see him creating all sorts of symbolic ways to express His holiness. Fast forward to Ezekiel or Hosea where we see him giving bizarre instructions to serve as object lessons…

LeAnne’s purpose for the blog is “to encourage artists who are Christians struggling to integrate their faith with their art.” She wants to help us understand the value of the arts in our own lives and in becoming more involved in the arts to help reach the world for Christ.
