Culture

“Why does art (real, beautiful art, not just self-expression) matter to the renewal of our culture?

“when I heard that P&R Publishing was going to rerelease Two Cities, Two Loves: Christian Responsibility in a Crumbling Culture by James Montgomery Boice, I was eager to read it.” - Chorus in the Chaos

“We now have the work of art that defines our age…. The Italian artist Salvatore Garau has created a sculpture entitled Io Sono, which means ‘I am.’ It is invisible; that is to say, there is nothing there. He has sold it for $18,000. Garau claims that it does, in a sense, exist, as a sort of vacuum.” - Veith

“Think about the goodness of God that saved us. It was the kindness of God extended to undeserving sinners in their time of greatest need. With that as a model perhaps the fruit of goodness is just that. It is kindness. But more than kindness it is kindness extended to even our enemies.” - Ref21
