Even within a seemingly “dis-enchanted” world, we clearly see a deep yearning for the transcendent. Cultural forms and movements all bear different expressions of that yearning, but one notably potent place it exists is in our popular narratives.

Three Visions Necessary for the Christian Artist
Your beliefs will be the light by which you see, but they will not be what you see and they will not be a substitute for seeing.” -Flannery O'Connor Too often, Christian artists hear spiritual tropes that are long on theory, but short on practice.

Timothy Keller: Where Imagination and Innovation Meet
“Reason is the natural organ of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning. Imagination, producing new metaphors or revivifying old, is not the cause of truth, but its condition.” - C.S. Lewis If imagination is the organ of meaning, and if God orients our imagination, then the gospel offers a creative advantage when it comes to bringing meaning to our work...

New Chamber Ballet: Newness
"We turn not older with years, but newer every day." - Emily Dickinson “As dancers, Emily Dickinson’s line resonates deeply with us. Fully dependent on the human body as our instrument, we live in constant worry about the irreversible decays of aging. Yet, each day we experience growth, renewal, discovery.

Surprised by Imagination
Woven into the gospel is a God that wants to know us personally through experience, through flesh and blood, through matter itself, in awe and wonder. A testament to this reality is the work of poet Christian Wiman. In Wiman’s writing, there lives a devotion to the wonder that words speak volumes more than their normative associations, allowing poetry to hold us in a s...

Another Saturday Night at the Clam King
“I think I’ve always been an old soul. My two best friends when I was little were my Grandmother and my Great Aunt. And now in my thirties, I look back at the things they did for me, an example is the story I’m going to tell, and those things have new (additional) meanings for me. When I was little, they showed their love to protect me and my confidence. No...

David Brooks: Cultivating a Cultural Imagination
“... where my soul is floodlit by light which space cannot contain, where there is sound that time cannot seize, where there is a perfume which no breeze disperses, where there is a taste for food no amount of eating can lessen, and where there is a bond of union that no satiety can part. That is what I love when I love my God.” - Augustine All human beings lo...

A Theology of Film
Joe Kickasola gives a theology of film by engaging CFW Artist-in-Residence Ben Stamper's film, 5 Haikus for 5 Boros. Film helps us to comprehend the theological concepts of immanence and transcendence. Joe Kickasola explains how contemplative films help us get outside of ourselves and approach the world not as a commodity to be consumed but rather as a world that God is ...
