VOL. 33, NO. 1 | The Arts

In this Modern Reformation issue, we’re offering a theological perspective on a small sampling of the creative arts, and in this way hoping to contribute to helping fellow Christians evaluate, appreciate, and participate in them with enthusiasm and care. To supplement this issue, we interviewed a printmaker, Carla Meberg, about her journey as a Christian, an artist, and a patron of the arts.
