I think that art is probably the strongest apologetic and illustration of the Christian faith - because it has no place or explanation in a materialistic or non-spiritual world, and yet so many Christian "artists" don't seek to portray the full Christian faith (which must include radical evil if it is to include radical redemption). They settle for a flattened faith, which calls us from being not-so-bad people to being oh-so-nice people, and it is not real, and therefore, it is not very artistic. I think you’re right on, Jeff.
