The Arts and the Lordship of Christ

"As evangelical Christians we have tended to relegate art to the very fringe of life. The rest of human life we feel is more important. Despite our constant talk about the Lordship of Christ, we have narrowed its scope to a very small area of reality. We have misunderstood the concept of the Lordship of Christ over the whole of man and the whole of the universe and have not taken to us the riches that the Bible gives us for ourselves, for our lives and for our culture ... We do not seem to understand that the arts too are supposed to be under the Lordship of Christ." -Frances Schaeffer, Art & the Bible (1973)
