Culture & Art

I’m starting to feel my way around in this endeavor, but here are a few of the best resources I’ve found that approach culture and the arts from a Christian perspective. I’ll be blogging about some of them, so stay tuned. This is merely a starter list of what has helped me so far. I’ve got a wish list of other resources to take me further. And I’ll be adding to this as time goes. But, I’d love to find out what has helped you.
