About me

Introduction	Sermon Illustrations is both an Art blog and a Bible blog. Over the millennia Art has been used by Christians to aid their cause as a teaching tool, as a recording device (encapsulating in an accessible form each generation's varied thoughts about God, mankind and His other creations),an instrument of veneration and meditation, protest and evangelization. But I feel like there is also a value to a discussion of Christianity and Art to non-Christians and non-Art aficionados. You can gain the theological and cultural background behind some of your favorite masterpieces with Christian themes. Remember that there is a difference between knowing the background story of an art reference and understanding the desired impact upon a believer in that narrative...consider it anthropological study. For the non-Christian, non-Art aficionado I believe that this can be a safe place to ask questions and engage in discussion for both subjects.
