Makoto Fujimura, a Christian artist you may remember me blogging about over Christmas break, has two more long good posts about Christianity, art, the church, art in times of uncertainty, and apprenticeship. He gets there by way of Fra Angelico, a Renaissance painter (ecce uploaded picture). I find his perspective interesting because he seems to be thinking much like we are, only he's a) a successful practicing artist, and b) doing visual art instead of literary. I recommend looking at his blog. :-)
