N. T. Wright Quotes About Art

Quotes about: Art

• It is central to Christian living that we should celebrate the goodness of creation, ponder its present brokenness, and, insofar as we can, celebrate in advance the healing of the world, the new creation itself. Art, music, literature, dance, theater, and many other expressions of human delight and wisdom, can all be explored in new ways.

That remains a surprising hope, and perhaps it will be the artists who are best at conveying both the hope and the surprise.
