Here are some quotes from a couple lectures given at Biola University by Dr. John Mark Reynolds on art, truth and culture. Hefty stuff.
"Any culture that can't explain Hamlet isn't worth surviving."
"The poets are the doctors of the soul."
..."I believe that myth ( a big term for music, poetry, art etc.) becomes the tool to shape our soul for Paradise...."
"To shape your soul is as important as building a bulldozer to shape the dirt out there."
"We need medicine for our souls in our poetry, art and music. We do not need to sate our souls."
"An artist to be taken seriously will have to justify the goodness, truth and beauty of the art they produce, and no longer hide behind the notion that it is just saying what I have to say."
