Visually Sacred: Conversations on the Power of Images

Wilson is Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Religion, Society and the Arts at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities. In episode 2 of Visually Sacred, I invited Wilson to speak about the history and legacy of Visual Theology in modern times. We discussed how the field has evolved and what it has meant for our understanding of the relationship between art and religion today.

David is Associate Professor of Theology and Culture at Fuller Theological Seminary. In the first episode of Visually Sacred, David and I discussed the biblical concept of new creation and how it applies to the making and experience of art. We also talked about the fundamental place of creativity in human life and some of the ways that art can help heal a broken world.
