The history of art is full of biblical themes and Christian influence. Great artists such as Michelangelo and Rembrandt made dramatic contributions to the world of art. Where has the Christian influence in art gone? Is it proper to paint biblical themes? Does the second commandment prohibit images of any kind? Dr. Sproul looks at some of these questions in this message, as he seeks to cultivate a biblical appreciation for the arts and a balanced approach to the idea of art in worship.
