Artwork in the Church: Underscoring Holy Scripture
Session Description
The role of visual arts in the church has been debated over the centuries. The presence or lack of visual art has often helped to define church bodies, but questions remain: Why do it in the first place? How does it best benefit the worshiper? What can it mean? By exploring the works and installations of nationally known sacred artist Edward Riojas, these questions will be addressed in the context of the Christian church in a world in need of God’s saving grace.
