What makes art Christian? Does a painting, poem, film, or song need to explicitly mention God to reflect a Christian worldview?
Megan Almon explores what makes great art meaningful and why beauty points beyond itself. Drawing on poet Malcolm Guite’s understanding of the artist, Megan explains how great art helps us recognize truths about ourselves and reality that we may not have realized we already knew.
From the relationship between beauty, truth, and goodness to art’s ability to give us a glimpse beyond the ordinary, this conversation explores why Megan believes great art carries what she calls a “fragrance of God” and why Christianity gives artists a uniquely rich understanding of creativity, meaning, and reality.
