[QUOTE="Eftsoon, post: 76488270, member: 433818"] I think that all art is capable of elevating the soul - even when the creators are total heathens. The impulse to create art is God given. As Christians we should be able to discern that. Secular art, of course, comes bearing other 'gifts'. It's always risky to steep oneself in the secular art world if one is not deeply, thoroughly and profoundly steeped in Christ. Music for example is just incredibly seductive, popular music is often , for me, transcendent, but it comes with a worldview. When I listen to a great album, I'm caught up bodily, spiritually and emotionally into that world. There always has to be an active process of reinterpretation where one is bringing the sensory data into alignment with Christ before it hits the pleasure centres. [/QUOTE]
