Christianity and culture

My Name Is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok is a book I could read over and over and over again. There are so many levels. I can read it as a Christian in regards to living out my faith. I can read it as an artist in regards to working out my art and faith.

Mike Duran's written a good post on Novel Journey about Being Bleak.

Sadly, this “‘precious moments’ or G-rated worldview” is fairly prevalent in the subculture of Christian art. Like a twisted rendition of Groundhog's Day, we reincarnate happy endings ad nauseam, unable to break the cycle, no matter how disconnected from reality they are.

I've been passionate about art and theology for the past ten years. One of the aspects of my thinking about Christians and their participation in the arts is the thinking of Christian-sponsored organizations and Christians acting within secular-sponsored organizations. At Intersection, I started this forum, and would love to get your thoughts:
