The Desecration Of Beauty—And What To Do About It
February 24, 2020
A great article by Dr. Timothy Willard which seeks to argue what the church should be doing about art and the problems of contemporary art. I would hope that in good time Redemption Studio would be an aid to such a reclamation.

Quillette has been an interesting source of ideas. Though this article was published a couple of months ago, it makes some valuable points about what is the purpose of free speech.

For a response (with which I disagree):

Rom 3:8 “And why not do evil that good may come?—as some people slanderously charge us with saying. Their condemnation is just.”

See also Postermodernism.
Social justice is a light and fluffy term; it is meant to carry so much weight and yet defining it is like holding onto water: it changes anytime you try to put a definite meaning to it. Our goal is witnessing to the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the good which comes from the light of God shining into the dark places of the world. I have too often heard the very theologically incorrect statement that people will be converted by our acts of service and kindness.

Some Links On Postmodernism

This blog post by Dr. Michael J. Kruger hits on issues of theology, politics, culture, and even the arts (or at least a performer of art). A good and humorous read explaining the importance of the need for a standard of truth over and against subjective claims!
As Dr. Kruger mentions, you can find the consistent teaching of the Church laid out in one convenient work of history here. This book sits on my shelf waiting for a good read.
