Apr 3, 2017: The Arts in Worship

Robert E. Webber

The historic argument for the use of the arts in worship is grounded in the Incarnation. The claim is that God, by becoming a person, sanctified physical and material reality as a vehicle for spiritual presence. He comes to us through flesh and blood. Why, then, shouldn’t we accept appropriate art forms as visible means through which we offer our praise?
