"The consensus seems to be this: we should be deeply Christian artists. But that doesn't mean we should be something called Christian artists or that whatever we produce should be called Christian art. We should simply focus on our craft, on making the best art we can. We should understand that people will and should resonate with out work not because it is Christian but because it is good. Above all, Christians should make good art, true art; art unafraid of exploring mystery, portraying evil, and looking for truth wherever it appears. Which is exactly what the best secular artists are doing."
- Brett McCracken in Hipster Christianity (p.167)
hmm maybe if it's not too long I should fly through this book while I'm up at the end of September while everyone is in class. Sounds rather insightful.
