“The best writers and artists are driven not by the need to show you themselves, as if to invite you into the prison of their minds, but by the desire to open windows so that you get a glimpse of glorious realities that stand outside and above us, enduring truths that do not depend on intellectual fads. They are not content to merely amuse us as we pass our time in a wonderless era of cultural fatigue. They startle us with truth and goodness and beauty. Gospel-shaped art should honestly express the realities of a broken world, even as it offers meaning and hope after suffering and death. And gospel-shaped art has a purpose beyond self-expression. For Christians, the canvas is more than a mirror; it’s a magnifying lens—one that makes the glory of Christ abundantly clear to a watching world.” ~ Trevin Wax
